    Exploring Voices in the Static: a new... something

    Voices in the Static appeared first in my email box, with this message:

    from: echo@voicesinthestatic.com

    dimensions


    That's it.  So I opened a new tab, tried out the domain name from the email address, @voicesinthestatic.com. I found this site.  It has a long audio track built in (mp3 here), and this animated .gif repeating across the screen:

    Nothing else at all in the source code.  Title bar reads "stare into us".

    Poking around, I found little.  Nothing on Technorati or Google Blogsearch.  So over to Unfiction, where I find that others have received the email, then also a link to this Craigslist post:
    Voiceinthestatic_Craigs

    Over to email, where I write "echo" back, asking which dimensions I should listen to.  A reply comes:

    dimensions of sleep

    what is wrong

    with her

    Dimensions, dimensions... nothing.  But Unfiction figures out why I had no luck using "dimensions" as a file name.  It was "sleep", or http://voicesinthestatic.com/sleep.htm .

    Title bar reads "perchance to dream."  Music is classic 50s do-wop.  Source code has some nice Morse code HTML, leading to "head of a man."  And that dark static is a live link, leading to http://voicesinthestatic.com/thedoor.htm .  Which has this image, the first non-animated one in the project so far:
    Voiceinthestatic_thedoor

    Doors-y music plays.  Title bar reads "speak in rhythm".  Source had has Morse code, ". .. ... ..", which is "EISI."

    And there I stop for now, pressed for time, down in the rabbit hole!

    Beautiful images. I'll be jumping down that rabbit hole too after seeing them.

    I've gotten some fun emails.

    Let's see what comes next!

    hey!

    you following this on unfiction?

    i'm a bit obsessed....

    I must confess to falling behind on the Unfiction thread, Aaron. Will try to catch up after this week's second trip.

    New activity on this front. Looks like this one is heating up.

    Check the developments on UF. This is really trippy stuff. Glad you mentioned it.
