Medea Electronique

Beyond Reasoning

Medea Electronique’s Beyond Reasoning is a four channel audio visual installation piece inspired by Attali’s work Noise. In Beyond Reasoning, noise ranges from the extreme silence to the extreme noise. It represents the inability to express any emotion of resistance. The four characters, powerless, stand in front of the camera and their reactions to the soundtrack represent their failure to react against the establishment. Such a noise art environment becomes a private vacuole (non-communicational cocoon) of self-reflection, where a newfound depth of self-understanding is achieved, as well as a disillusionment of social spectacles and ideologies.
