Neuroporn is a series of 17 snapshots of posthuman intimacy and memory. Each soundscape is built from manipulated field recordings captured around Warsaw, weaving the real and the imagined into one sonic hallucination. Almost all of the material has been modified or broken in some way, using MaxMSP, an Octatrack and a few pedals including OBNE MAW, to create glitching artefacts and slightly uncomfortable sounds. Each snapshot has a generated image to accompany it: an LLM's interpretations of the content. 1. Dust-fields hold an absence 2. A motel (adrift) 3. Futures drained through every possible stillness 4. Sterile ruin blooms in reverse 5. Emergency Dreams for Waking Minds 6. unconscious broadcast loop 7. Clickbait archive 8. Crisis as background noise 9. Memories rendered in the topography of mass culture 10. Sleep Edits 11. looped for comfort 12. Familiar futures recolonised by feeling 13. Aesthetic violence 14. Assassination as interior design 15. The president fucks a hologram 16. Intimacy by market research 17. Collapse
