Abstract

Proceeding from the contention that the dawn of the Anthropocene may have as much to do with our relationship to technology as it does with climate change, Stefan Maier discusses recent work that explores the unruly behaviours of particular sound technologies. As a foil to functionalist accounts of technology—accounts that attempt to understand technology entirely through the lens of normative utility—Maier discusses his idiosyncratic treatment of instruments, sound-systems and software. Here, tools are mined for their alien(ating) potential—the capacity of certain technologies to project well beyond their designated use, often to monstrous ends. In particular, Maier discusses his recent multi-media installation Deviant Chain (2019), which uses a machine-learning-driven speech-synthesizer to generate abject, nonsensical speech. These machinic glossolalia form the basis for a constructed language, which features extensively in the work.

神经系统——构成技术圈的无序性

从人类世的到来可能与我们与技术的关系与气候变化的关系一样多的论点出发，Stefan Maier讨论了最近的工作，探讨了特定声音技术的不守规矩的行为。作为对技术的功能主义描述的衬托，迈尔讨论了他对乐器、音响系统和软件的特殊处理。技术的功能主义描述试图完全通过规范效用的视角来理解技术。在这里，工具被挖掘出了它们的异类潜力——某些技术的投射能力远远超出了它们的指定用途，通常会达到可怕的目的。Maier特别讨论了他最近的多媒体装置Deviant Chain(2019)，它使用机器学习驱动的语音合成器来生成卑鄙的、无意义的语音。这些机械的词汇构成了一种构造语言的基础，这在作品中有广泛的特点。
