Ten Conversations with the FacelessBy Sinclair Ogaga Emoghene
Length6h 58m
About this audiobook
How Dark? Ten Conversations with the Faceless is the documentary record of what the modern technical media have been doing to the body across the past one hundred and forty-nine years. Season One follows ten apparatuses in turn, beginning with the telephone in 1876 and closing with the contemporary surveillance infrastructure of the present period. Each episode names what the apparatus has been built to do, by whom, against which bodies, and to what cumulative end. The body of the listener is the body the series has been written for. The body has been on the receiving end of the apparatus across the long century the series documents. The body now hears what has been done to it. Season Two follows.
