(Making Sense of Noise)
Entry for Noetics Without a Mind, ed. S. Kousoulas, A. Radman, H.Sohn (Delft: TU Delft OPEN Publishing & Jap Sam Books, 2024). ISBN: 978-94-93329-24-9
ABSTRACT
In this entry, I explore the potentials of sound and signal processing in artistic experimentation as spatial practice: how this allows for exploring the intensive and machinic dimensions in the production of sense and subjectivity, which resonates with the affective turn in philosophy. I stress the importance of this analogue way of thinking, but question separating the analogue and digital, or material and discursive, preferring one over the other, especially in the context of the current convolutions of ubiquitous computing and capitalism. Karen Barad’s notion of intra-action can encourage us to take emergent sonic properties seriously and approach sense-making as an entangled material-discursive practice.
