»white noise« is a cooperation project between raster-media and the max planck institute for empirical aesthetics. artistic sound projects generated in the context of the scientific research institute will appear at irregular intervals. the themes and questions of empirical aesthetics research are taken up, questioned or challenged in very different ways. »white noise« is conceived as an audio archive of the mpiea artists in residence which records the artistic works on vinyl and documents the respective concepts and working methods in text form.
victioria keddie's »pshal p’shaw« (white noise #002) is a multimedia exploration delving into phonetic expression's auditory and rhythmic nuances of phonetic expressions through an amalgamation of text, sound, video, data, and customized learning software. drawing inspiration from the painter and architectural theorist hermann finsterlin who made speculative architectural renderings, the project originated during a residency at the max planck institute for empirical aesthetics in frankfurt in 2023.
the project's engagement with the sonic landscape of the eight diphthongs in us english, documented through recorded sessions at eeg labs with participants of diverse international backgrounds, is not just a technical analyses. the applied script for the recording session, infused with a contemporary western us dialect, ventures beyond, exploring the primal essence of phonetic expression and its impact on the oral landscape of mouth, throat, and tongue.
this work focuses on the spoken aspect of language: the art of oration, conversation, and mimicry. It reflects the beauty of our perpetual change, speaking directly to our humanity and the raw, tender moments of existence. it embraces the awkward, beautiful and vulnerable essence of our shared human experience.
