Notes on “The matter of numbers” by José Cláudio Siqueira Castanheira.
Digitized sound is an inaccurate representation of reality as it pushes it through a mechanical grid. Biological listening neither has the capabilities to get a “whole” perspective of reality. Perhaps the defects in digital listening is in the activity of production and listening; sounds have no origin in space and time; the maker is lost. However realistic and accurate a virtual reality is, it extends the body out of time and space. The complexity of this infinite potentiality is overwhelming. We become lost.
Is it possible that technology will not save us?
The tools within us?
