DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Golden Record on board of the Voyager spacecraft 
 (1977) is on a journey through outer space\, carrying a sampling of world 
 music into the unknown. Conceived as a visiting card to other life in the 
 universe\, the Golden Record has been called a “message in a bottle” and a
 n “interstellar mixtape.”—The question I want to ask is simple: What would
  actually happen if extraterrestrials picked it up at the other end? Can w
 e expect that extraterrestrials have ears? What does listening even mean i
 n an interstellar context? In what could be termed a media archaeology of 
 the future\, we will examine the record as an interface in the communicati
 on of various expressive forms—words\, music\, images—with the aim of gett
 ing a better sense of how exactly the Golden Record might function in this
  unpredictable context. \n	 \n	Bio: Alexander Rehding is Fanny Peabody Profe
