Download and read online ebook High Static, Dead Lines write by Kristen Gallerneaux. This book was released on 2021-02-24. High Static, Dead Lines available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A literary mix tape that explores the entwined boundaries between sound, material culture, landscape and esoteric belief. Trees rigged up to the wireless radio heavens. A fax machine used to decode the language of hurricanes. A broadcast ghost that hijacked a television station to terrorize a city. A failed computer factory in the desert with a slap-back echo resounding into ruin. In High Static, Dead Lines, media historian and artist Kristen Gallerneaux weaves a literary mix tape that explores the entwined boundaries between sound, material culture, landscape, and esoteric belief. Essays and fictocritical interludes are arranged to evoke a network of ley lines for the “sonic spectre” to travel through—a hypothetical presence that manifests itself as an invisible layer of noise alongside the conventional histories of technological artifacts. The objects and stories within span from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, touching upon military, communications, and cultural history. A connective thread is the recurring presence of sound—audible, self-generative, and remembered—charting the contentious sonic histories of paranormal culture.

High Static, Dead Lines: Sonic Spectres and the Object Hereafter provides a textual expansion of ideas explored in Kristen Brooks's practice component of the PhD in Art History, Theory, and Criticism with a Concentration in Art Practice. The condition of the "sonic spectre" is a form of "thickened" media or material culture with connections to sound theory and history--an invisible layer of noise that results from the self-obfuscating conditions of retreat found within the history of technological objects. The degradation of use-value, disconnect of knowledge--the use and misuse of obsolete technological objects and media formats--are recurring examples that amplify the presence of such spectral conditions. Historical artifacts, architecture, and recollections are invoked as primary research texts, exploring the intertwined boundaries between material culture, sound, and folklore. Methodologically, the essays, object lessons, and fictocritical interludes are arranged here to evoke a network of ley lines for the sonic spectre to travel along--and in-between. Each section takes on a theme: traditional haunting, sky borne frequencies, interactions of sound with the body, manifestations of spectrality in media and broadcast, performance rituals as contamination rituals, and finally--landscapes and their sonification. The objects and stories themselves are varied, spanning the mid-19th century to present day. They touch upon military, communications, music, and cultural history--examined when appropriate through lenses of media archeology, folklore studies, landscape theory, the Anthropocene, Thing theory, and object-oriented ontology. Connectivity between these essays is found in the overarching presence of sound--audible sound, microsound, self-generative sound, the sonification of objects, remembered sound, and the contentious territories of supernatural sound.

This book was released on 2020-03-19. Cell Tower available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Cropping up everywhere, whether steel latticework or tapered monopoles, encrusted with fiberglass antennas, cell towers raise up high into the air the communications equipment that channels our calls, texts, and downloads. For security reasons, their locations are never advertised. But it's our romantic notions of connectivity that hide them in plain sight. We want the network to be invisible, ethereal, and ubiquitous. The cell tower stands as a challenge to these desires. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Follow for Now, Vol. 2 picks up and pushes beyond the first volume with a more diverse set of interviewees and interviews. The intent of the first collection was to bring together voices from across disciplines, to cross-pollinate ideas. At the time, social media wasn't crisscrossing all of the lines and categories held a bit more sway. Volume 2 aims not only to pick up where Follow for Now left off but also to tighten its approach with deeper subjects and more timely interviews. Featuring conversations with thinkers like Carla Nappi, Rita Raley, Dominic Pettman, Ian Bogost, Mark Dery, Douglas Rushkoff, and Dave Allen, and musicians like Tyler, The Creator, Matthew Shipp, Sean Price, Rammellzee, and Sadat X, as well as writers like Ytasha L. Womack, Chris Kraus, Pat Cadigan, Bob Stephenson, Simon Critchley, Simon Reynolds, Malcolm Gladwell, and William Gibson, Follow for Now, Vol. 2 is another critical cross-section of the now.
