Simone White, “bound together by this matter” e-flux Journal #105

When I hear this music, I know myself to be bombarded and embraced by its structure: the gigantic sine waves we call bass, sound at the low frequencies, wrap themselves around objects so that it does not matter where we are if we are within range of their movement; we cannot exactly know how we are entwined. I see us, all, bound together by this matter, and I see the master of the machines who produce and manipulate our togetherness, as powerful inventors in the possibilities of our social life. Insofar as it is in and through social life that we are made human, the masters of these machines are making us new. If we do not understand, we are at the mercy of what they know and we do not about how we can be got into, got to do things.
