Work Overview
This piece is in the memory of Paul Virillo, whose book Art and Fear (2003) was a huge influence on my thinking. In his 1991 book The Aesthetics of Disappearance, Virilio traces out the relationship of biological optics to technologies of "production of appearance." This piece tests this idea with audibility, rather than optics. Perceptual gaps create illusions of continuity, where I attempt to highlight the paradox of empiricism in acoustic science as a kind of "motion without mobility," as Virillio attempts in his book with optics.
