Instructions
Your presence takes the form of an audio frequency. Currently, the
frequency you choose from this page's audio clock will not follow you
into the next room.
Instead, you will be given a random frequency that resembles a
squiggly line to represent "you."
Throughout the experience, more frequencies will enter the room,
mimicking our eventual awareness of others who inhabit a shared space
despite our initial solitude.
About
Welcome to nonclub. It is a room in passing, created in part due to the
pandemic's impact on spaces that have been essential to the mental
health of many. The loss of underground clubs, particularly those that
evoke a realm of temporal and liminal possibility, has removed critical
channels of release and transformative experimentation.
This piece does not attempt to replicate the experience of going
to an underground club. Instead, it serves as a respite, one that has
the potential to exist beyond the pandemic. It is an interruption, a
break from the increased ubiquity of digital interactions and an
alternative to forming new connections. Eventually, users will also be
able to upload their own recordings to generate unique sonic narratives.
