Expanding Space: Andy Warhol's Sound Experiments
This lecture foregrounds Warhol's experiment in audio recording—he recorded over 4,000 audio tapes from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s—and argues that his work in sound serves as template for his innovations across photography, film, video, and television. His various formal artistic strategies relating to categories such as duration, transference across media, and spatialization have been largely credited to his film work. What has previously been unappreciated, however, is the extent to which his reconceptualization of these categories began with his early work in tape recording. The model of the 24-hour movie (initial articulations of this model include SLEEP /EAT /KISS [1963-64]), I will argue, was born out of the aesthetic structure of his early tape recording experiments. Likewise Warhol's early sound films, such as HARLOT(1964), MORE MILK YVETTE (1966), and SCREEN TEST #1 (1965) demonstrate agility with speech, noise, and silence that had already been tested in hours and hours of tape-recorded experience.
