It's a Man's Man's Man's World - Review: Sonic Acts day 1.

New Review by Nathan Jones.

The first day of the Sonic Acts festival featured some of the most
prominent men in philosophy, electronic music and sound art today,
including OOO practitioners Graham Harman and Tim Morton, M.E.S.H., Vessel
Florian Hecker and Reza Negarestani. Nathan Jones attended this day for
Furtherfield.

"Trans-gender theorist Jami Weinstein has compared the flocking behaviour
of academics and artists around the concept of The Anthropocene, to the
adoption by the Hipster of a given locale or fashion appendage. The
creative flock, she suggests, can perform a gentrification of concept
through uncritical adoption and ‘hyper-consumption’, just as it does of
neighbourhoods or workwear. The Anthropocene is indeed the place to be
seen, or the guise in which to dress the body of your work, this season.
The term is proposed as a way of describing the explicit ‘age’ in which
human kind, post-1945 (although possibly since the Industrial Revolution,
or stretching right back to the advent of tool use), has come to define the
geophysics of the entire earth."
