The record archive
The record archive is an ongoing project of
collecting vinyl records that sound document historical events of the
twentieth century
. The archive contains speeches and interviews
by world leaders, wars in sound, peace agreements, human rights struggles
and other radio broadcasts of the events that shaped history from the
invention of the phonograph to the fall of the Berlin wall.
The phenomena of records that document political
and historical events was popular from the 50's until the late 80's.
Most of the records had direct connection to propaganda and national
pride.
I am interested in researching how a society
turns its historical events into commodities and how sound documentation
functions in relation to collective memory.
