EKK:LoFi Sounds in HiFi Spaces/Mingling sounds/Ben Elisabet

Hi Elisabet my mail address is: benjamin.vossler@gmail.com

Bens' thoughts:

"Medium is the message"

-> a quote of Marshall McLuhan

thoughts after reading "The improbability of successful communication" by Niklas Luhmann:

- the medium influences the way we interact and communicate
- there's a difference between writing by using a typewriter, a laptop or a pencil
- „Unser Schreibzeug arbeitet mit an unseren Gedanken / Our writing tools are also working on our thoughts“ Nietzsche
- the structure of a medium influences the understanding on the receivers' site

in our transcontinental context

- our communication media and devices influence the quality of our communication
- misunderstanding leads to new interpretation of the submitted content
- the quality of the connection affects the esthetic of the experience -> a "glitchy memory"
- the latency forces to slow down (if a Hi-Fi perception of San Diego is wanted -> need the upload on a video hoster)

-> creates new "space" -> virtual Space

If I will remember San Diego, while a realtime connection via internet, I only have a destructive image in memory.

Ideas to work with

- using the latency time as a metronome
- using the artifacts of the sound-transmission as an impulse response
