The contemporary media landscape might be described in simple terms
as a digital terrain where real and virtual worlds collide. Stephen
Kennedy investigates the concept of our digital space leading up to
the digital turn of the 1990s to fully understand how our
perceptions of orientation in space in time was altered. "Chaos
Media: A Sonic Economy of Digital Space" re-thinks the five
fundamental paths to our contemporary understanding of the digital
age: cultural, political, economic, scientific, and aesthetic, and
ties them together to form a coherent whole in order to demonstrate
how critical thinking can be reconfigured using a methodological
approach that uses 'chaos' and 'complexity' as systematic tools for
studying contemporary mediated space. Kennedy introduces the
concept of Sonic Economy, a methodology that allows for a critical
engagement with the heterogeneous elements of an information
society wherein the dispersion of discrete elements is manifest but
not always clearly visible.
What can the sounds of today tell us about the future? Can an
analysis of sound and sonic practices allow us to make reliable
predictions in relation to wider social phenomena? And what might
they tell us about technology in a world where futurology is such a
frenzied and busy field? In order to answer these questions, this
book tests a range of propositions that connect noise, sound and
music to political, economic and technological events. Hence it is
a book about historical trajectories and conflicting ideas about
time and the necessity to re-contextualize and interpret them in
the digital age.
