description:
this research installation
tries to explore the different noiseforms as source for random processes,
noise is a random signal, real random is not expressible in any kind of
algorithm, this set up documents all sounds of an exhibition space over
a long time, by using a tapeloop and an analog tape recorder with no erasehead
this installation will produce a specific noisetape for the space. noise
plays a crucial role in communication systems. in theory, it determines
the theoretical capacity of the channel. in practice it determines the
number of errors occurring in a digital communication. we shall consider
how the noise determines the error rates in the next subsection. in this
subsection we shall provide a description of noise.
