silent noise


no microphone or sound recorder could immerse you in the noise and vibrations of my current living location. recordings would not make your body vibrate and they would not feature all the frequencies i feel. then, even if i had the perfect technology, your sound processing is different from mine.


so, i suggest two experiments.


experiment no 1

start: imagine you are very skinny. your dominant sense is touch. the world is very noisy and tends to vibrate too much for you. by nature, your brain is wired so that it overstimulates after a while when there is noise around you. noise trauma has also fragmented your internal silence in very small pockets and these small pockets are not like a large silent ocean. they get poked whenever there is sound. they make waves. sometimes, the waves are too high and/or too frequent. you enter into hyperstimulation and your body mind does not know anymore where in and out are. your mind becomes vulnerable. it becomes the sound. you might dissociate. your nervous system collapses, your physiology changes. severely. you know that most doctors won't understand. you know that drugs can't help. you know that state. you are alone. pause. breathe in, breathe out. breathe in, breathe out. do not change place or posture. breathe through the information you have received and then, imagine you are less than 100 meters from a huge construction site with 38 new buildings slowly sprouting in series of about 4 to 8 at a time, since 2017. today is july 26, 2024. click on the image below, stay there for a bit. come back. end.


what happens?

experiment no 2

now, we imagine a world where land is not owned but shared and cared for.

what happens?
