<div dir="ltr">Julian,<div><br></div><div>I am essentially a writer, a poet,, an essayist on art (photography and film), poetry and translation, and a translator from Turkish poetry. Though indirectly, my writing is very much involved on the effects of technology, particularly digital technology, on human consciousness. For instance my poem of 2012 <i>The Spiritual Life of Replicants </i>(referring to the replicants in the film <i>Blade Runner</i>) revolves around the question what finally separates, <i>if anything</i>, the human from the android, particularly if the android develops a consciousness of mortality, as it does in the film. Or in my next 2016 poem <i>Animals of Dawn, </i>I focus on <i>Hamlet</i>, on Hamlet's "delay" to execute his father's revenge expeditiously. The poem suggests that Hamlet exists in a different time space from other characters, the move from one zone to the other being extremely difficult. The ghost's ambiguous injunction to Hamlet to kill his uncle exists in one time zone. The poem ends with the question: "If Shakespeare had photoshopped the ghost's image, would it have appeared clearer?," which is the last line of the sixty-five page poem. Both <i>The Spiritual Life</i> and <i>Animals of Dawn</i> are published by Talisman House.</div><div><br></div><div>My poetics is very much involved with the ideas of silence and space (particularly empty space). In my poetry often words are broken down, language deconstructed, meaning becoming ambiguous and blurred --in other words, moving toward a state of noise-- to arrive than empty space where language loses its its linearity and shoots (in the reader's mind) in multiple directions.</div><div><br></div><div>Julian, I hope this is helpful.</div><div><br></div><div>Ciao,</div><div>Murat</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 26, 2018 at 2:38 PM, Julien Ottavi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:julien@apo33.org" target="_blank">julien@apo33.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">----------empyre- soft-skinned space----------------------<br>

<p>Hi Murat</p>
<p>that sounds interesting, do you have any examples or links to
some of your explorations? I am really interested!<br>
</p>
<p>you could listen some noise music produced by ants,
stratosphere's electromagnetic storms, electromagnetic "inaudible"
sounds from cities and machines...etc

<div dir="ltr">Very interesting post, Julien. My interest in noise
is an attempt to liberate it from the subjectivity that humans
impose on it, defining it only as it relates to them. I want to
explore "noise's autonomy." Your questions in your post also
seem to point to the same direction.

"Noise: Disorientation, Contamination, and
(Non)Communication"<br>
<br>
Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I was just thinking of this subject and I was wondering why
do we present noise as a negative concept?<br>
<br>
Why if noise helped us to direct ourself in our surroundings
(Disorientation)?<br>
why if noise was a not a virus (contamination) but a way to
cure people and nature? or if it was a way to communicate
with the universe and the nature?<br>
Why if noise was a way to communicate and the signal (being
the information) was not the only way of communicated (as in
the communication theory)?<br>
<br>
Also what is noise? In which domain, theory or practices?<br>
Are we talking about theory of communication, artistic
practices?<br>
Are we talking about noise music? or nature's noises such as
wind or thunder?<br>
If we are talking about music, what kind of noises? white
noise, brown noise, pink noise? or saturated sounds?
"Concrete" music sounds such as everyday life sounds:
squeaky doors, fans, trains, cars, planes, cooking
sounds...etc?<br>
<br>
We don't have to answer all of those questions during this
week but at least maybe we could clarify some of them or
express what's our interest in this field.<br>
<br>
For instance, in my case, I am a composer, musician, sound
artist...etc. I am using noise-sound in my music but I also
make noise music. Noise music does have a positive impact in
my life not only in term of production or as a performer but
also in the listening of it, specially in concert situation
with loudspeakers and sub-woofers to really feeling it.<br>
I am also finishing my P.h.D and one chapter is dedicated to
this question of the practices of noise music from the
perspectives of those who makes it and not only from the
academic or the listener point of view.<br>
<br>
So I am wondering where people stand with those concepts?
Beyond your background what's is your interest in the
subject and from which perspective are you talking about?<br>
<br>
best<br>
<br>
Julien<br>
