We are able to contextualize Lucier\u2019s written text and performance in the context of Aristotle based off the fact that Aristotle believed that voice was the soul hitting the air. In Lucier\u2019s performance as time went on the sound became less and less distinguishable. This can be explained through Aristotle\u2019s theory that I mentioned above. As Lucier initially speaks into the mic his soul hits the air, but as the loop begins it\u2019s no longer his voice and his soul ceases to hit the air. Which is why the sound is indistinguishable as the video goes on. This also ties into the beliefs of\u00a0Barthe\u2019s as he stated that sound is too complex to be purely communticated. That\u2019s also another reason why the sound in Lucier\u2019s performance becomes more and more indistinguishable. The way humans make sound is a complex system. In fact it is so complex that even if you are able to capture sound and record it a machine like a speaker cannot purely communicate that sound. That is why as the loop gets deeper the sound is hard to make into words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
