Salt18's
The Silence of Noise is an experimental interrogation
of text, image, and sound that takes place
on the Web. The text documents an interrogation
(between cop and witness, or perhaps between
shink and patient), while the hand-drawn images
interrogate the text in search of odd juxtapositions
and unintended humor. The unsettling noises
on the soundtrack participate in the interrogation
as something considerably more than sound
effects. You are also a participant, for you
don't just scroll through The Silence of Noise,
you direct its unwieldy passage through time
and across the screen. Salt18 is a multimedia
arts collective dedicated to unconventional
narrative projects. The shifting roster of
members are bursting with stories and believe
in the evolution of new forms and in the magic
produced when the right story meets the right
form. In hot pursuit of the right form, Salt18
entangles and redefines literature, drawing,
photography, installation, Net art, and other
new and old media.
