Impossible Sound is a pedagogically experimental seminar that investigates sound as an art historical problem, a material practice, and a cultural form. Grounded in art history and sound studies, we examine analog media, cassette, film, & related formats as sites where sound exceeds visibility, documentation, and stable ontology. The seminar functions as a reading group: texts are collectively selected in the first weeks & guide an ongoing investigation into sound, listening, & historiography. Through reading, listening, making, & experimentation, the Seminar aligns art historical inquiry with contemporary sound practices & alternative models of teaching and learning
