pitch-(im)perfect soundspace a critical question to defectless urbanism -…

- - - - spiritual VS functional
  - - - VS (anthropological) PLACE
        
        places of identity, of relations and of history.
        
        Place is in the eye of the beholder
      - cannot be defined as rational/ historical/ concerned with identity
        
        not hold enough significance to be regarded as places in their anthropological definition
        
        listed, classified & assigned
      - transience
        
        Places formed in relation to certain ends (transport, transit, commerce, leisure…)
        
        Non places mediate a whole mass of relations with the self and with the others which are only indirectly connected with their purposes
        
        the peculiarity of being partly defined by the words & instructions they offer us: prescriptive (put your seatbelt on), prohibitive (no smoking aboard the aircraft) or informative (landing in 2 minutes).
        
        measured in units of time. It is only passed through
      - produced by supermodernity
        
        excess
        
        excess of space correlated with the shrinking of the planet
        
        the world is becoming more open to us through rapid means of transportation and technology: the internet or virtual space.
        
        excess in contemporary events, associated with an acceleration of historical time
        
        non places proliferating in excess in the era of supermodernity
        
        examples: Clinics, hospitals, roads, airports, metro stations, malls hotels
        
        ego
        
        excess of self reflexive individuality.
        
        material overabundance.
    - - essentially exchangeable and can be located anywhere
        
        increased mobility
        
        made out of the periphery and its homage to modernity which might be seen as senseless compared to the historically grown and developed cities.
        
        loss of characteristics in the city where it’s somehow only possible to identify a street by its sign,again, text and words.
        
        loss of space, however, could be compensated by a new kind of symbolism.
    - - This space thrives on design but design dies in junkspace. There is
        
        no form, no creativity
        
        only proliferation and regurgitation.
        
        Junkspace only offers entropy.
        
        proliferation of the formless
        
        communities are created according to statistics and numbers, but not interests.
    - - formless and full of absence
        
        spaces are everywhere and nowhere at the same time, in the in between, inducing a feeling of nostalgia, like we’ve been there before as junkspace and non places
    - - overloaded (excess due to the supermodern) yet shallow, empty and deprived of any detail that would distinguish them from one another.
        
        And if places are more and more alike, human beings are also the same
        
        They are not shaped by the culture of the place they live in but more and more shaped by the world culture which we are exposed to thanks to technology.
        
        are shaped by similar forces as global culture continues to homogenize.
        
        The world is becoming relatively homogenous, even in its diversity.
        
        Non lieux are dehumanized and dehumanizing, as individuals lose their sense of identity there.
- - - - instruction / score of sound walk
    - - how to represent the rich sonic world of experience on paper?
        
        dimensionality and density of portrayals of information
    - - NEED TO VISUALIZE/ DRAW
- - - - S: body device
        
        transform recording device into analog
      - M: inhabitable installation
