For more than a century physical sound-storage media, from the cylinder of the Edison phonograph to the CD, have made music something that can be owned - an unusual liaison between music and object. The LP managed to become a fetish; the days of the CD are already numbered. With the emergence of the standardised compression format MP3 and the Internet, sounds are once again roaming freely. 'Edition Edison ’ brings together twelve objects in a limited edition - twelve positions between music and object at the end of the age of sound- storage media. In the entrance hall of the Akademie der Künste at Pariser Platz, Nicolas Collins, Aleks Kolkowski and FM3 will run a workshop-installation. For three days the artists will manufacture objects. The number of multiples they produce for the edition will be equivalent to their labour or non-labour. Edition Edison is a project by Nicholas Bussmann and published by Diaphanes.
