In his 2013 doctoral dissertation, "Loud speaker: Towards a component theory of media sound" (Princeton University), artist and scholar Seth Cluett develops a theoretical framework for understanding sound through the physical and political presence of the loudspeaker as a media component.
While Cluett's broader work frequently engages with Max Neuhaus, this specific text utilizes the loudspeaker’s history to analyze how sound technology mediates power and perception.
