Visibility itself is not a measure of inscription, modification of the substratum is.

Unsettling Scores | Liquid Architecture

Unsettling Scores is a three-part online program curated by Liquid Architecture for Monash University Museum of Art in conjunction with the exhibition Samson Young: Real Music. Unsettling Scores will be distributed as newsletters, with works also appearing on our journal platform Disclaimer.

Bringing together artists, musicians and writers from around the world, the program examines how experimental and political sound and acts of listening—grounded in the language of musical scores—become vehicles of unsettlement, disrupting logics of settlerism, extractivism, expropriation and appropriation, while at the same time offering powerful assertions of sovereignty, resistance, and futurity. Unsettling Scores will comprise texts, videos, audio, notation, transcripts, proposals and documentation, collated in the form of an expanded dialogue between contributors.

Liquid Architecture is an Australian organisation for artists working with sound. LA investigates the sounds themselves, but also the ideas communicated about, and the meaning of, sound and listening.

Disclaimer will be an online journal, published by Liquid Architecture, for new thinking and writing on listening and sound.

In our dreams, we project activities including (but not limited to) essays, interviews, poetics and audio, in two issues per year. The reality of this project asks for readers’ attention.

This reads like a super interesting project! Will be in Melbourne in September so will hopefully investigate.

Bearing in mind that cyberspace becomes the locus where the intense desire of refigured embodiment takes place, one must agree with Peter Anders’ words: “Since bodily sensation is our measure of things, cyberspace then not only extends our personal space, but also our social environment.”

In this era of encounter between time and space, architecture becomes the design of the interface, a kind of vehicle of images. Architecture stands for the actual electronic territory where the traversing of images, as sources of information, takes place. According to Virilio, “Information now wins out over the reality of event.”7 To this degree, the communication interface is what predicates the formation of cyberspace. The interface between man and machine replaces the reality of buildings and social ground. Social structures have been deeply affected by technological intensity, where the deportation of people and elimination of human confrontation brings social concentration to a post-urban, or transnational world

Once predicated on qualities such as enclosure, form, and permanence, architectural space is finally getting rid of its physicality and is now giving way to virtual spaces, where digital technology emerges in the form of data and information. Digital media are responsible for creating a new territory where stability and actuality are tempered by this indescribable reality: a reality where variations of visual qualities, internal contents, and social expressions are influencing the creation of new spaces
