W.I.P. (Continued). This page of a new score emerges as a commentary on mediated identity, surveillance, and subversion.


 

This page of a new score emerges as a  commentary on mediated identity, surveillance, and subversion. The central facial obscuration paired with the target-like chromatic block recalls notions of anonymization, algorithmic encoding, and digital overexposure. The weapon-graphic at the lower right doubles as a sonic amplifier and a critique of the militarization of sound and language.

“PILLOPOPEL BEBELBO”, a nonsense phrase arching over a circuitry-like device, delivers a performative utterance or a Dadaist trigger. It simultaneously evokes the absurd and the encrypted.  It is a sonic password in a world of linguistic entropy.

There is a latent Futurist and Lettrist inheritance here, filtered through a post-digital lens: the fixation with machinery, communication systems, the disintegration of the human image into pixel and fragment, and the use of notational systems as cryptographic indexes rather than performative guides.
