The noise factor is
the ratio of signal to noise of an input signal to that of the output signal.
Noise can block or interfere with the meaning of a message in both human and
electronic communication. But in Information Theory, noise is still considered
to be information. By refining the definition of noise as that which addresses
us outside of our preferred comfort zone, Joseph Nechvatal's Immersion Into
Noise investigates multiple aspects of cultural noise by applying the audio
understanding of noise to the visual, architectural and cognitive domains.
Nechvatal expands and extends our understanding of the function of cultural
noise by taking the reader through the immersive and phenomenal aspects of
noise into algorithmic and network contexts, beginning with his experience in
the Abside of the Grotte de Lascaux. Immersion Into Noise is intended as a
conceptual handbook useful for the development of a
personal-political-visionary art of noise. On a planet that is increasingly
technologically linked and globally mediated, how might noises break and
re-connect in distinctive and productive ways within practices located in the
world of art and thought? Joseph Nechvatal explores this intriguing question in
Immersion Into Noise.
