“Television was considered by psychic researchers to be an occult domestic medium that allowed clairvoyance to increase across distances” Lisa Blackman, Immaterial Bodies ‘TeleSonic transmission’ explores inner sounds – sounds we hear as part of our inner worlds of thoughts, ideas and emotions – and considers the possibility of a collective inner listening experience. Television, video, and film all carries within the undercurrent of magic, telepathy, and clairvoyance. The work suggests listening in this new digital space as a reaching out along the electric pathways, through the screens, into each other’s homes, into each other’s minds. The screen acts as a listening gateway, as an extension of my ears, my body. It connects us in an intertwined listening experience across the space which separates us.
