The network sends and receives everything. We capture, post, follow, share and archive. Data becomes us.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Consolas; color:black">March 2013 was the 100-year anniversary of the publication of Luigi Rusullo’s<i> Art of Noises</i>, and in the ensuing century the proliferation of mechanical noise
has reached a critical density. Our accumulated audio-visual virtuality has been working towards a zeitgeist moment for some time. David Gelernter, researcher at Yale, has been foregrounding the concept of “life streaming” for several decades. Now it would
seem, the stream has become a torrent. </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Consolas; color:black">Today we live to the beat of signals, alarms and alerts - a constant stream of audio-visual reminders that we live in increments of time amidst layers of metadata.
We move and we are tracked by GPS, recognised by software, matched against databases, evaluated by life-tracking devices and mapped by our profiles and usernames. This new aesthetic of machine ambience is at once an embodiment of our private present selves
but also an ambient beautification of what lies in our wake. Photo streams, playlists, check-ins, recommendations, resolutions, bucket-lists, posts, comments and feeds all embellishing the spaces and flows of our virtual habitats. We have become the exquisite
beast in the garden, with all her flair, colour and boundless expression.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Consolas; color:black">Images of you and me and us are embedded into this fanfare as icons of our identity. This aural and visual accumulation of our lives has created an immense data
pool that is embellished by everything we see and everything that we say on the network. This meta-ambience is cross-fading our public, commercial and private spaces like tracks on an iPod Shuffle. We remix our environment by just being present in it. We
bring our own signal noise with us wherever we go. We are fast becoming the sample bank of a dense ambient mix of images and sound.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Consolas; color:black">But what does this look like? With what forms of expression is this data being exposed? How do we construct our own ambient worlds? How is Big Data constructing
it for us? What do we show and what do we choose to conceal and what is beyond our control? Where does our ambience end and where do that of others begin? How do our rituals of culture, work and family inform who we are through the ambient streams we leave
in our wake? </span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
