Some sound art papers

The papers from the Sound Art Theories Symposium 2011 papers are now available. For those interested in digital archiving, David Grubbs' paper "'Remove the Records from Texas': Parsing Online Archives" discusses two "very different kinds of online archives", UbuWeb and DRAM (the acronym stands for Database of Recorded American Music, but the archive holds works from other countries as well).

Calls for 2012

Please note that all calls etc. for 2012 will be published here, and not in separate posts.
