Developed by Jonathan Sterne in The Audible Past (2003), audile technique refers to the 19th-century rationalization of listening, which separated hearing from other senses to treat sound as a specialized,, detached way of knowing. Modern research applies this concept to analyze media, ecology, and artistic participation by exploring how technologies mediate sound and reshape space.
