And I joke a little about can culture be created or be maintained without the artifact, but really, can it? Not too harp on this Antique Roadshow paradigm, but entire spans of time would be more than less void/unrepresented in such an exercise.
Isn't the artifact for noise, noise itself ?! Can be the technology, new "machines" are also instruments for creating noise. That's why with this constant progress, there will always be individuals to test new sounds. Afficionados of sound experience or noise fetish will always be there.
The non-harmony of the structure of the noise also gives a complete artistic freedom. Its sources can come from any sound emitted by any objects, samples etc
Will we ever come full circle?
I don't think so, well, that's what I'm thinking, I'm maybe wrong.
But with new things, it can also probably evovle, into what, I don't know.
If the artifact was noise itself (distinguishing that from media recordings of noise, as seen in the above discussion on collectable old releases), then I think there would be some interesting implications. In a sense, it would never get old because it could never age---only existing in the present/presence of live performance!
