We have now "seen" the connections between subjectivity and the iPod, ending with the shuffle function and its potential for alternative aural epistemologies of space. But I want to end by complicating this positive portrayal of randomization. What is the cultural significance of distancing ourselves from the rest of society, but then relinquishing control of our aural surroundings to technology? Is control, like subjectivity, something that can only be given away by someone who owns it to begin with?
