Visitations
doctor i get these fevers constantly; i'm under tremendous stress. i've
taken my art as far as i can - i'm not even sure it's art anymore. sexual
nakedness repeats itself into infinity; my recent presentations carry the
repetition as i*i*i traveling back and forth across the imaginary. there's
no end to it. i don't sleep well. i'm shaky. my vision produces peripheral
illusions. there are headaches, chills. i take codeine. i take coffee. i
produce.
i say this because of sleeplessness. i'm always on the verge of breakdown.
i want all the bodies in the world bought and sold. i want the sex and the
guns. i want the sweetness and collections of late-night promises. i want
tender farewells and corpses.
there are no other reasons. beneath the skin, there's skin. flesh cuts
into flesh, organ into organ. two cells occupy the same space. they love
it.
there's room for everyone. nothing but the chills which i have to great
degree. they don't disappear. at night i twist until my body becomes
someone else. that person fucks and dies. that persons buys and sells,
this is all contract. live within my means.
i came broken to you because there's no choice. nothing comes and nothing
goes. i see brutal mountains. no vegetation. i want the bodies there. to
come to me. bought and sold. there's room for everything in the desert.
they have visions in the desert. i want the visions.
yes.
i've ceased crying long ago. others cry for me. they see for me. i am an
other. i am written for. i am naked, fucking. they provide me. i die. they
die. it makes a seal, contract. i endure. i come to you.
some woman. some man. sometimes the same.
collapse of day. the fever is furious. i do nothing less than this. i
create the conditions. i collapse them. the hunger continues. you are too
cold.
mountains and night. live within the other's means. i collapse them.
go through, doctor. don't ask. don't tell. i won't say a word.
I don't understand and oh I want to.

Silence Is (not) Sexy: Organising Sound and Silence
Conference stream at the 18th EGOS Colloquium, 4-6 July 2002,
Barcelona, Spain (www.egosbarcelona.com)
CALL FOR PAPERS
Silence can be heard only from those who are disposed to wait for a
while, it is slowness. Sound travels through the air at sonic
velocity, it is modern speed. But silence is also what is denied, made
invisible, hard to discuss; and sound can be local expressions of
wider silences. Hence the ethics of sound and silence is not easily
decidable. We invite contributions which deal with the dialectic
between sound and silence as an occasion to explore fields of art,
organisation, resistance, change and hope; as a chance to give voice
to emotion, desire, indifference and seduction. The following list of
themes should be seen as an inspiration:
- Aesthetics and the sublime of sound and silence
- Anti-modern silence: mysticism, religion and God
- Body noises, voices and silences
- Conferences as noise factories
- Desire of sound and silence
- Ethics of sound and silence
- Hearing the disabled: giving voice to the lost, hidden, neglected
and marginalised
- Historical perspectives of sound and silence
- Modernity and the loss of silence
- Music of organisation and organisation of music
- Noise=Sound?
- Organisational sound and silence
- Production and consumption of sound and silence
- Resistance of sound and silence; sound and silence of resistance
- Silence=Woman?, Sound=Man?
- Spaces, places and spheres of sound and silence
- Speed and sound
- The scream: the silence and sound of pictures and images
- Urbanity: the sound and silence of the city
- Why do we have to talk all the time?, or, the fear of silence
This list is, of course, not exhaustive. We are very much concerned to
include a wide range of interdisciplinary and diverse voices. In order
to go beyond traditional conference modes of organising sound and
silence, we would like to encourage the submission of a range of
different forms of contributions; that is, besides the usual academic
paper format we very much welcome experimental forms of representation
of text, images and sound.
Please send an abstract of no more than 500 words by email to all
convenors by the 15th December 2001. If you are considering to submit
a piece of art (music, picture essay etc), we would still like you to
send us the required abstract describing your piece and your planned
presentation at the conference.
Stream convenors:
Steffen Bohm, University of Warwick (s.g.bohm@warwick.ac.uk)
Attila Bruni, University of Trento (anomalo@libero.it)
