Sound waves can't usually damage your ears unless you constantly keep headphone volume too high,or you insist on standing very close to tall speakers during a concert for too long. Used in the right way (or wrong way), however, they can be a scary armament, able to inflict various degrees of harassment, ]]>
from vexation to irreversible injure (as we already explored in Neural issue #24 "Directional Audio sonic weapons and other stories"). Goodman is compiling here a history of sound as a weapon, in all its horrifying applications: from the legend of the wall of Jericho through to the prototype of a Whirlwind Cannon built by a Nazi scientist. It also includes the audio harassment in Vietnam, the "Squawk Box" in Northern Ireland in the seventies and "The Scream" used by Israel in the evacuations of the West Bank in 2005. But his research is fruitfully enriched by an analysis of core concepts like vibration, acoustics, speed, and of course noise, giving a much broader and interesting context. We come across Burrough's theories on using music for generating riots in the streets as well as frequent quotations from the major Attali's "Noise." Then, the "rippling shockwaves", as the author calls them, are at the core of a florid discussion on use of sound waves for social and political purposes. They have one very sinister aspect, invisibility, that is also strictly associated with their pervasiveness. The discussion of sound outside of its usual pleasant context is the disturbing and unique characteristic of this must have book.

Digital data has a paradoxical status. Immaterial by definition, it nonetheless has a need for a physical substance (hardware) to manifest itself. Eternal and not subject to decay, it is forced to bond its life to the hosting support, inheriting fragility and a tendency to degenerate. Furthermore, data legibility is

Temporary.cc eschews this paradigm". The website doesn't preserve its own content but, on the contrary, acts as a de-generative machine that will eventually lead to its total disappearance: a blank page. The task is left to the users, who participate in the deleting process simply by visiting the website. For each unique visitor it receives, Temporary.cc deletes part of itself. The interaction with the work determines its gradual vanishing and, at the same time, gives each viewer a different version of the webpage because every new access produces "a new composition through self-destruction".

After months of waiting, the Ipredator anonymity service from the founders of The Pirate Bay has finally opened its doors to the public. For 5 euros a month users can now hide all their Internet traffic, including torrent downloads, from third party outfits who might want to spy on their downloading habits.
