[microsound] Public Headphones and Hygiene?
I am planning an upcoming installment of The Sky & Culture Pavilion which
will provide trippable jumpers ( headphone jacks) for direct audio contact
with outer space phenomena There will be numerous stations of different
sounds and specimens. Headphones are the best way to access this intricate
sort of sound but I believe public headphones that I often see hanging in
museums are potential ear and skin disease transmitters.
Do sound artists address this concern?
My thinking at the moment is to get cheap headphones in bulk and provide
them at cost which I am anticipating might be $1. per headphone set. Not
sure about that cost as yet. And/or advertise the pavilion as a "bring
your own headphone" type situation.
Anybody have ideas? Has this subject come up before?
