- content: "Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium\
- \ will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video,\
- \ the crap sound of 8-bit\u2014all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon\
- \ as they can be avoided. It's the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound\
- \ of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking\
- \ apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium\
- \ supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of\
- \ an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement\
- \ of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing\
- \ events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them."
