ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on a number of recent projects as strategies for intervening in a technoaffectivity governed by visual and aural excess, arguing that technoaffective reinscriptions activated from the position of the rebel listener may be one way to ‘practise postdevelopment’. Llamando al mago is a ‘sketch’ in the sense of being ‘rough’; there is an intention to share the process of generating and stitching audio-visual material together. Radio Europe was a performance consisting of a composition of audio fragments, music and live reading, enacted for a conference held at the University of Rennes II, France in April 2015. The performance gathered a number of live and pre-recorded voices around the questions ‘what is the sound of censorship’ and ‘how loud is silence’, among them poets and musicians who have been imprisoned in France for critiquing nationalist discourses in their music.
