YouieCho-LookingOutwards-10

This is a performance of gender blur, noise abstraction, and intimate electricity. The event in which this performance happened is Queer Trash, which celebrates the potential for noise to be a process that undoes fixed meanings, upsets hierarchies, and also collapses socially constructed order, although it is often considered something inevitable but unwanted. Max Hamel represents noise as something with an independent meaning itself, as something queer. I couldn’t find much about an algorithm that goes behind this work, but I think the randomness of noise is the nature of what he wants to express. I can see that he is controlling the various computational noise with his hands, and there are sections that are more defined with fewer amount of sounds, and other sections that are a combination of many sounds. I think this is very sensible of him to create levels of intensity, which is what often happens in music.
