Urban media and the politics of sound space (2005)

unapi

Description Muzak, also known as `nonaggressive music deterrent', is used more and more often as a strategic weapon in the effort to make public space `safe' and controllable. But according to Jonathan Sterne, its use is primarily aimed at excluding non-consumers -- whereas he believes it should be seen as a vital component of urban design. In Sterne's opinion, besides an aesthetical dimension, sound also has a political and ethical dimension. (Abstract from: http://classic.skor.nl/article-2853-en.html)
