CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Deadline December 15, 2002 Issue 4: Net.Noise The Curators of CTHEORY Multimedia, Arthur and Marilouise Kroker & Timothy Murray, seek finished projects of electronic art ready to be mounted on-line and archived in CTHEORY Multimedia, published by the Cornell University Library's Electronic Publishing Program.
What is the sound of art on the Net? A sound of wireless motion and dark noise. The surging sound of coding, network streaming and file-surfing. The almost undetectable whispers of splicing, mixing and mutating noise into a brilliant tattoo on the skin of the digital. The viral backbone of digital culture, Net.Noise sounds the electronic pulse of connectivity, the babble of chat, the pings of hits, and the silent tracking of back-orifice hacking. What happens when sound resonates images with such intensity that art shudders, finds itself wandering in a spectral space not of its own making? What happens when digi tracks and whirligigs provide the electrodrip of house sound and dawn rave that haunts the net with viral acoustics? What happens when the net hears murmurs of strange new codes--digital looping, sound displacement, time compression, phasal syncopation--and suddenly opens up into a new electronic universe, speaking the vernacular of sounds recombinant fit for speed travel across the crystal palaces of the image matrix? When the Net finally begins to speak, when the codes of the wired world finally find a voice, we are suddenly projected into an art of the cyber-ear, listening intently to what artists of Net.Noise have to tell us about the distended ear of digital sound/images.
