Discussion on ‘Script for the playing of a 7” phonograph record prepared for readthrough’ between Sarah Jones and Martin Westwood

This article records an email discussion between Martin Westwood and Sarah Jones the protagonist for which was the reading aloud of the "Script for the playing of a 7" phonograph record prepared for readthrough" at the symposium Headstone to Hard Drive 2 on 7th February 2015 at Central Saint Martins, London. The script that was read from is printed here.

In identifying the potential of documentation, not in the realm of representation but as interception, the discussion posits how the protocols of a script maybe expanded as both a record and a proposition. It goes on to consider how the form of the riddle and riddling inhabits a double-mindedness of oral and aural register alongside the graphic, creating a doubled sense of hearing and seeing.
