Silence

With constant visual and audiovisual stimuli through our environment and screens, noise is a common threat. Facebook and Instagram sets our video-content on silent by default and on most videos subtitles are already added. It seems as our longing for a moment of silence seems omnipresent. As the pendulum swings—silent content in its various forms is the logical reaction to a noisy environment. Potentially in reverse there is someone in a far away convent completing his vow of silence while listening to a field recording of city noises. Never satisfied with what is, right? What’s missing today?
