[-empyre-] why if?

[Murat Nemet-Nejat]

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.

Ciao,
Murat
