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 ssor of Music at Harvard University.
