<nettime> life is packet sniffing, keep your nose clean

[Bill Spornitz <spornitz {AT} mts.net>]

life is noise; and meaning in life will be realized in the reflected 
- info-structure grafted onto noise in a context somehow pertinent...

To these bloodshot eyes, this carnivore thing is a big noise-net; 
maybe meaning would be inculcated around the hoo-haw where the noise 
was being mediated for the user, with skillful means, blablabla, 
maybe.

But meaning is con-textual. I could write a little midi interface and 
realize carnivorous noise from noise, or instead, i could write a 
little midi interface that sonifies my text editor (for example); 
realizing a sonification of con-text and lucky dis-consonances.

All value is gone ( since 9/11 ). There is no better or worse of 
these two options. There is only what I choose. Now's the twentyfirst 
century; I know all about the sonification of noise (and the clanging 
of the police state),  I'll choose the other for my dwindling 
attention.

... or maybe develop a sonification api based around a standard 
pattern language...
