Pyramid of Capitalist System, ca. 1901 (Nicolas Lokhoff)/1911(Industrial Worker; Nedeljkovich, Brashich, & Kuharich).

“the products of labour become commodities, social things whose qualities are at the same time perceptible and imperceptible by the senses...there is a definite social relation between men, that assumes, in their eyes, the fantastic form of a relation between things..this I call the Fetishism which attaches itself to the products of labour, so soon as they are produced as commodities, and which is therefore inseparable from the production of commodities.” 

Karl Marx, Capital volume 1 p. 83 (TK version).

In Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s film, The Lives of Others, listening devices (bugs, rather than fungi) are embedded into walls, light fittings, and beneath wallpaper in order to eavesdrop on the private sound of suspect citizens. These continue to nest silently under their domestic camouflage, even when the paranoid regime that implanted them has long since disappeared, even when the brain connected to the ears has ceased to exist.

- from the book “Sinister Resonance: The Mediumship of Listener” by David Toop

Eavesdrop: a place where sound, gender, and architecture meet. It’s a place where power relations are negotiated. It’s a place of potentiality and possibility.  A liminal space. Who has here the power over whom?

“Cardinals Eavesdropping in the Vatican” (1895) by Henri Adolphe Laissement

Your Royal Hindness

Water costs money. So in theory, the more money, the more water??? Sydney Government controls’ – or owns- the water in the Sydney basin. The Catchment Authority (SCA) controls, distributes and regulates access to water. Furthermore, if there is less water, because of drought or other factors, the cost of water will rise. We are water beings, and it is vital for our survival, however, those that have money, or are higher up in the class structure, have access to more toilets and water sources then those that do not have finances or resources.
