Bird Library Exhibit: Media: Audio

Developments in media technology have allowed humanity to preserve and distribute vast quantities of sound, moving image, and computational data. These forms of stored information generally require some manner of interpretive device to unlock their contents, whether a phonograph, projector, tape deck, computer, or game console. This exhibit is part of a three-part series concerned with media in their various forms. This installment focuses on audio-related media, including tape, disc, roll, wire, cylinder, and cartridge formats. Curated by Stephen Singer and Abigail Traska.
