La capture de l’inaudible, conceived by Matthieu Saladin, is the edition of a software acting like a reverse mp3 encoder. Where a classical mp3 encoder removes inaudible frequencies to reduce the size of an audio file, the reverse encoder gives these frequencies to listen, removing what the mp3 format usually keeps.

The software comes on a SD card, going along a booklet with a selection of texts on the inaudible, and a text written by Jonathan Sterne.

The SD card contains also the whole Artkillart catalog, re-encoded with Matthieu Saladin’s software.

Tracks created with the software can be archived online, only on user’s request, and participate to the constitution of a global inaudible library.
