A fax machine used to decode the language of hurricanes. A broadcast ghost that hijacked a television station to terrorize a city. A failed computer factory in the desert with a slap-back echo resounding into ruin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHigh Static, Dead Lines\u003c\/i\u003e, media historian and artist Kristen Gallerneaux weaves a literary mix tape that explores the entwined boundaries between sound, material culture, landscape, and esoteric belief. Essays and fictocritical interludes are arranged to evoke a network of ley lines for the \"sonic spectre\" to travel through — a hypothetical presence that manifests itself as an invisible layer of noise alongside the conventional histories of technological artifacts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe objects and stories within span from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, touching upon military, communications, and cultural history. A connective thread is the recurring presence of sound — audible, self-generative, and remembered — charting the contentious sonic histories of paranormal culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strange Attractor Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050490577136,"sku":"9781907222665","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907222665_p0.jpg?v=1763618708","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907222665","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
