This is the question I have set out to explore in Immersion Into Noise. For many people, if anything is representative of the art of noise, it is ambivalence. Ostensibly, everything is permitted in art today—and thus nothing is necessary. As a result, art and entertainment are said to have merged. For me, however, perhaps surprisingly, the denial of this merger and the answer to the question posed above is to be found within the challenge of style. In writing this book I have come, counter-intuitively, to see the style of cultural noise as the necessary (and thus valid) art of today—precisely because it does not cave in to the supposed need for immediately legible, spectacle. Indeed it restores art’s responsibility of resistance. Some claim that art, as entertainment-spectacle, participates in the dumbing-down values that have proved useful to big business, values that address all communications to the lowest common denominator. I tend to agree. Therefore my feeling is that today art must indict—or at the very least play the role of the noisy jester who unmasks the quietly persistent lies of the powerful. Corporate and government propaganda is often designed to deceive and victimize us—and if art cannot rebuff and contest this by fueling the political will and imagination of resistance, I wonder why we need it at all. So for me, an intricate art of noisy re- sistance is increasingly valuable to an analytical social movement based on skepticism as it strengthens unique personal powers of imagination and critical thinking through self-perception, while undermining market predictabilities. Such art noise counters the effects of our age of simpli- fication—effects that have resulted from the glut of consumer-oriented entertainment messages and political propaganda, which the mass media 10 Joseph Nechvatal feed us daily in the interests of corporate profit and governmental ma- nipulations. This look at self-perception is the impetus behind this book. My initial question concerned contemporary art’s commitment to the idea that a central core of art is that which purports to transcend the banal economic world and portray a wider vision of awareness, includ- ing private spiritual, ecstatic or numinous themes that become accessible through the subjective realm of each individual: this is a self-perception that reveals in minute particulars the full spectrum of the extensive so- cial-political dimensions of the mind. I wondered about art’s new role in recognition of the fact that the logo representational paradigm is being overlaid by newer cognitive processes based on dynamic systems, con- nectionism and situated emergence. I began this writing with the assumption that developing visual and cognitive noise as a cultural strategy is an important element of this dy- namic model, one that challenges a cultural analysis founded on unam- biguous representations necessary for entertainment. This was based on my observation that a noisy cultural constructivism is in the process of confronting unconnected ideal models of entertainment with infor- mation processing and self-re-organization through the digitization of knowledge. So, in this somewhat eccentric piece of writing, I have tried to explore such questions through a range of references, touching on some of the cultural, political, art historical, and philosophical aspects of noise, including the connection between noise and violence and noise and the sacred. But I was always lead, from beginning to end, by my involvement with art. In my own case, I came to practice the art of noise through the research into ideology and power that I conducted in the 1980s in the form of drawings and photo-mechanical blowups of the drawings. For ex- ample, see Figure 1. For me, the validity of art noise rests on the assumption that while rhizomatic growth and inter-relations are unpredictable, this does not mean that they proceed randomly. Noise may break some connections, but connections will always continue to grow in other directions, creat- ing new thoughts and new affects. The notion of noise as creation itself is thus an important one that needs to be reconsidered and reevaluated. Preface 11 Figure 1 – Uplifting, 1983, 11 x 14”, graphite on paper, Joseph Nechvatal.

  • Documentación Y Autentificación De Yeserías Nazaríes a Través Del Tratamiento De Conservación Y El Análisis Científico
    DOCUMENTACIÓN Y AUTENTIFICACIÓN DE YESERÍAS NAZARÍES A TRAVÉS DEL TRATAMIENTO DE CONSERVACIÓN Y EL ANÁLISIS CIENTÍFICO López Borges, V. H.1, Burgio, L.1,2 and Clark, R.J.H.2 1. Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, London SW7 2RL, UK. [email protected], [email protected] 2. Christopher Ingold Laboratories, University College London, 20 Gower Street, London WC1H 0AJ, UK RESUMEN Cinco fragmentos de yeserías policromadas, procedentes del Palacio de La Alhambra de Granada y fechadas dentro de la época de gobierno de la dinastía Nazarí (siglos XIII- XV), fueron seleccionados para la nueva Sala de Arquitectura en el Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) de Londres, para representar el arte y arquitectura dentro del mundo de la España islámica. Estas yeserías datan hipotéticamente del siglo XIV, época en que el arte nazarí se encontraba en su mayor esplendor. Los fragmentos poseían escasa documentación en los archivos del museo y además se pensaba que algunos pudiesen ser réplicas. Durante el tratamiento de conservación se estableció una colaboración interdisciplinaria con el equipo científico del V&A, para poder adquirir más información sobre los materiales y las técnicas empleadas en la elaboración de estas yeserías, así como ayudar en su autentificación y datación. Con el fin de determinar su composición, muestras de las policromías y los morteros fueron analizadas mediante técnicas de microscopía Raman en el University College London y de microscopía por luz polarizada en el V&A. Se detectó yeso en los morteros, así como pigmentos tradicionales, lazurita (lapislázuli), bermellón (cinabrio) y negro de carbón, en las yeserías que todavía estaban cubiertas por la policromía original.

  • In Search of Japanoise Globalizing Underground Music
    16 In Search of Japanoise Globalizing Underground Music David Novak In 1990, I had just returned from a year of teaching English in Japan, so I was surprised when I came back to college in Ohio and started to hear about “Jap- anese Noise Music.” Some cut out the “music” idea altogether and called it all “Japanese Noise,” and others just compressed it to “Japanoise.” The name was supposed to identify a specic Japanese type of “Noise,” which was already a pretty vague genre name. Some friends added that its top artists mostly came from the Kansai region and the cities Osaka and Kyoto where I’d been living. I’d run into some noisy punk rock and experimental music in little under- ground record stores and small clubs around Japan … but Japanoise? I had never heard of it until I was back in the United States, when the Boredoms’ LP Soul Discharge found its way to the college radio station where I was a DJ, and tapped into the emerging independent music scene. At the time, the ow of underground cassettes, CDs, and vinyl into the station was increasing on a daily level. But dropping the needle on Soul Discharge released the most spectacularly dissonant racket I’d ever heard, tog- gling through a spectrum of styles and sounds. Sometimes Boredoms sounded like a hardcore band, sometimes a random Dada cutup of popular culture: it was desperately heavy but also funny as hell. You couldn’t possibly take it seriously, but, at the same time, it demanded your full attention.

  • A Partial Glossary of Spanish Geological Terms Exclusive of Most Cognates
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A Partial Glossary of Spanish Geological Terms Exclusive of Most Cognates by Keith R. Long Open-File Report 91-0579 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1991 Preface In recent years, almost all countries in Latin America have adopted democratic political systems and liberal economic policies. The resulting favorable investment climate has spurred a new wave of North American investment in Latin American mineral resources and has improved cooperation between geoscience organizations on both continents. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has responded to the new situation through cooperative mineral resource investigations with a number of countries in Latin America. These activities are now being coordinated by the USGS's Center for Inter-American Mineral Resource Investigations (CIMRI), recently established in Tucson, Arizona. In the course of CIMRI's work, we have found a need for a compilation of Spanish geological and mining terminology that goes beyond the few Spanish-English geological dictionaries available. Even geologists who are fluent in Spanish often encounter local terminology oijerga that is unfamiliar. These terms, which have grown out of five centuries of mining tradition in Latin America, and frequently draw on native languages, usually cannot be found in standard dictionaries. There are, of course, many geological terms which can be recognized even by geologists who speak little or no Spanish.

    PRIMERA SECCION: FACTORES DE UNIDAD EN EL ARTE MUDEJAR Presidente: Prof. GONZALO BORRAS Vicepresidente: Prof<l . CARMEN FRAGA NOTAS SOBRE ARQUITECTURA MUDEJAR ENRIQUE DOMINGUEZ PERELA Desde que a principios del Siglo VIII la Península Ibérica se convierte en el límite de la demarcación de las dos grandes esferas de poder que se disputan el control del Mediterráneo, hasta finales del Siglo XV en que ese limite pasa al estrecho de Gibral­ tar, las condiciones sociales, políticas, religiosas y económicas de lo que acabaría siendo España. difieren grandemente de cualquier concepción sincrónica del resto de lo que hoy denominamos Europa. A la ancestral amalgama tribal prerromana, cu­ bierta de las salpicaduras del Oriente Mediterráneo y "unificada" bajo la administra­ ción imperial. viene a superponerse una corriente cultural nueva asociada a los pueblos germánicos que rápidamente será desplazada por el extraordinario fenómeno musul­ mán. La "nueva" cultura islámica aportará sus elementos más característicos, insepara­ bles de la concepción eclecticista de su orientalismo natural. El resultado es, tiene que ser. de una complejidad inaudita e incomparable en relación con los otros pueblos si­ tuados dentro del próximo entorno geográfico. Contemplado el panorama artístico medieval hispano desde la perspectiva colo­ nialista de finales del Siglo XIX y principios del XX. no es de extrañar, que por una serie de complejos fenómenos de psicología social se tendiera a infravalorar todo aquello que no encajara en una concepción occidentalista de la historia. Al margen de la acalorada discusión bizantina asociada al nacimiento del término "mudejar" y de la grandilocuencia academicista de aquellos que tomaron esta cuestión como objetivo de sus actividades eruditas, la realidad es que se tiende, por lo general, a infravalorar el fenómeno islámico español.
