hedonic post-digital body-culture: “backlash” towards an emotionally intelligent “auditory culture”
It is the bodily experience of sound that determines its structuring: sound brings the body in motion leading to e-motion generating sound – interaction leads to a collective and collectivizing dynamic soundstream of being “communis.” Participants enter an ever “new” sound environment; its “affordance” excites e-motion, by this sound. Despite a semiological concept of “information transmission,” sound stimulates “communication.” Sonic performative interaction communicates by the expression of the meaning of the sound / the motion to the body and the stimulation of “emotional contagion.” Basically, it is “intensity” that is the meaning of sound to the body. The concept “sound-gesture” describes / explains this process. Its mediatization, the coding of its “picturing,” brought up the “sight” of musical structuring as “relational thinking” – “forward back” media technologies close to the body allow immediate bodily structuring for every body.
Analysis of this kind of motion is the analysis of emotionally “intelligent” experience – this knowledge base generates an emotionally intelligent system, “popular” music: AI-Pop for every body. Being a paradigm of structuring environments based on the “needs” of the body, the entrance into the sound-environment is a structuring entrance into post-digital media-worlds: Because of the transgression of the mechanistic paradigm in digital culture it is a “backlash” to the hedonic nature of media-culture as “auditory culture”.
