TIME
every sensation has its own time
ask: what is the tempo?
measurable time, every one’s time
and time that only you can feel
material for audiovisual expressions
to create a world… like this one
I have been here forever it seems
since the skies went black
I have lost my shadow
I have lost my voice
without voice
we would expect silence
but I hear this drone
I hear it all the time
everywhere
FUTUR ANTERIEUR
resist the sound
sound creates silence
retroactively
sound creates retroactively the silence that it maculates
practice deferred action: NACHTRÄGLICHKEIT
with what remains
sounds are inadequate signs
yet retrospectively they create a standard
the standard by which they appear to be inadequate
that which is blocking sounds from reaching their full potential
provides the condition of their possibility
sounds are grounded in impossibility
it goes on forever it seems
since the skies went black
endless repetition
endless fading
without voice
counting
counting the repetitions
repetition is the result of a reflective process
there is no repetition without identifying, without counting
there is no repetition without an observer
I must be somewhere, the observing witness
I am the viewer: V I D E O
I am the listener: A U D I O
it is darker than you think
looking back on how we were seeing and listening
our senses were not gateway to the world
senses were gateways to brains
tactile, auditory, vision, olfactory, gustatory, vestibular, proprioceptive
in the real, there may have been vibratory motion
but “sound” only began, where vibratory motion ended
electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve was the condition for sound’s arising
sound and sight: a practice of assignment
sound and sight were in-mind: mental phenomena
non-sound non-sight
what will silence mean in a world without sound?
what does darkness become in a world without light?
