Visual vs. acoustic

Posted on by lignes invisibiles

A was just thinking regarding the medial turn we all live in – you can call it medial turn or whatever you feel like naming it. 

In the world we live, in this age and these years, I was just thinking, what about training our ears more instead our eyes? In an era, in which we become consciously and unconsciously slaves of the screens, what if we switch all screens off for a while and open our ears to audio stories and images?

  1. The images are inescapable for me. They come through my eyes in the waking hours and through my mind in the quiet hours. Sound is important. The birds, the cars, the trains, the laugh of a child (or its crying). But light travels through empty space, which stops sound. And so we must reckon with it and its power. As for screens, I hope more will spend more time watching the “screen” called life. That is reality, and we are in it. We might as well confront it and take some responsibility for it.

    1. Finally, I get to answer to your comment, which leaves me very emotional thinking about the images you’re describing. I think that more and more people realise how tired they are from screens and in my opinion gradually there will be a change regarding the lifestyle of people. We will return to the past in a way, then return to the future. I also agree with what you wrote regarding responsibility in our life. If every individual doesn’t take responsibility then no change is possible – apart from our personal, internal change, which also very important.

I started writing when I was a child. When I was a child they used to call me "Lallina". I come from Corfu, a small island in the Ionian Sea, Greece. In the past I used to live for three years in Germany and Berlin. After doing my Master and living in Germany I have decided in September 2018 to move to Barcelona. Spain is a magical country and I decided to move there after living in Germany to change my life and myself. Initially my plan was to study theater in Spain, but later I started building small puppets and entered the world of puppets for a while. Now I am are more interested in painting. As for writing, it was always my best companion. Empecé a escribir cuando era niño, en la escuela. Cuando era niña solían llamarme "Lallina". Vengo de Corfú, una pequeña isla en el mar Jónico, Grecia. En el pasado vivía durante tres años en Alemania y Berlín. Después de hacer mi maestría y vivir en Alemania, decidí mudarme a Barcelona en septiembre de 2018. España es un país mágico y decidí mudarme allí después de vivir en Alemania para cambiar mi vida y mi mundo interior. Inicialmente, mi plan era estudiar teatro en España, pero luego comencé a construir pequeños títeres y entré al mundo de los títeres por un tiempo. Ahora estoy más interesado en la pintura. La escritura, siempre fue mi mejor compañero. Bueno, probablemente descubrirán también algunos bocetos. En 2020 comencé también a grabar algunos de los textos, que están disponibles en soundcloud. El propósito era poner los textos a disposición de las personas que no pueden ver.
