Body interactions with re/presentations of the environment, symbol, icon, index, create different “realities”. The project aims to make this understandable and to be experienced.
Symbols are willful assignments to what is seen. This feasibility leads visual cultures to the Anthropocene. Body representatives rule over it.

Icons are reproductions of sensations. Index is body’s immediate sensation of stimuli. This precognitive experience of hearing as a tele-sense and abstract experience of “tension-solution” is adequate to media cultures.
As mediated realities beyond time and space, they create an “all-at-onceness”, their immateriality can’t be understood symbolically, it is experienced in an abstract stimulative way. All of this describes hearing.
Biosemiotics ascribes meanings to precognitive stimuli that live a survival of bodies with nature; not determined by representatives of bodies, but by bodies themselves. Media worlds are auditory cultures in which the body turns the tide!
