Machinic Unconscious
November 16, 2011
Graphology has taught us to recognize in handwriting images that the unconscious of the writer conceals in it.1 Analogical to the graphologist who finds in scrawls, scribbles and illegible inscriptions the signals and signs of unconscious dynamics (illness and so on), geophonographic practice finds in the illegible and `meaningless’ traces distributed across the earth’s surface [...]

Quantitative Extractions
November 15, 2011
T5 Quantitative Extraction by schrimshaw First attempt at a spectral reduction of the results of prior iterations of geophonographic approaches, an attempt at identifying intensive quantities behind the surface appearances that previously documented techniques have traced and rendered audible. A development of the Ur-writings series. Technical details can be found here.

Tynemouth Surface 8
November 5, 2011
Tynemouth Surface 8 by schrimshaw Experiments in geophonography: a process of tracing ‘meaningless’ and illegible inscriptions that are nonetheless informative, following distorted lines and figures that intersect both the history of phonography and recent geophilosophical speculation. Each iteration of the process entails tracing the contours of a particular geological rupture or protrusion, the abstraction of [...]

Geomnemonic Regression or the Indexing of Epochal Intervals?
April 28, 2011
According to Professor D. C. Barker’s exposition of geotraumatic research ‘descent into the body of the earth corresponds to a regression through cosmic time’.1 Here subterranean explorations mirror the atavistic regression of a Ballardian spinal descent through transorganic memory or evolutionary history. Yet perhaps opening up to subterranean influences or conditions is less a regression [...]

Geo-traumatic Resonance Research
March 29, 2011
Experiments in reading geological erruptions as recording surfaces, tracing the impressions of the crust’s morphological composition. The geophonographic process used in rendering the surface of the earth audible can be summarised as follows: 1. Documentation of site / surface. 2. Basic image analysis rendering each row of pixels as a waveform. 3. Composite of all [...]
