A literary mix tape that explores the entwined boundaries between
sound, material culture, landscape and esoteric belief. Trees
rigged up to the wireless radio heavens. A fax machine used to
decode the language of hurricanes. A broadcast ghost that hijacked
a television station to terrorize a city. A failed computer factory
in the desert with a slap-back echo resounding into ruin. In High
Static, Dead Lines, media historian and artist Kristen Gallerneaux
weaves a literary mix tape that explores the entwined boundaries
between sound, material culture, landscape, and esoteric belief.
Essays and fictocritical interludes are arranged to evoke a network
of ley lines for the "sonic spectre" to travel through-a
hypothetical presence that manifests itself as an invisible layer
of noise alongside the conventional histories of technological
artifacts. The objects and stories within span from the
mid-nineteenth century to the present day, touching upon military,
communications, and cultural history. A connective thread is the
recurring presence of sound-audible, self-generative, and
remembered-charting the contentious sonic histories of paranormal
culture.
