Unique among ebr ‘threads,’ this one is composed of essays that reside apart from ebr. The ‘enfolded’ essays retain their origin and identity, but they become available through the ebr interface. The resulting network of affiliated essays brings ebr a step closer to a literary semantic web, whose content can be collected, tagged, and interlinked among a consortium of federated sites.

Noise

Following in the line of Cary Wolfe's MusicSoundNoise thread (2001), Trace Reddell's LitMixer (2001), Mark Amerika's Sounds of the Digital Intelligencia (2007), and Reddell's subsequent Sonic Contents (2006), the present gathering from Robert Cashin Ryan further explores the noise of culture and productive capacity of sound.

The Language of Music and Sound
Against the notion that music is the most abstract of art forms, Olivia Block thinks of music as a language with its own vocabulary of sounds, patterns, rhythms, notes. On the day of a performance in Kyoto, Japan, these reflections alter Block's sense of her own language, English, deconstructed by Japanese advertisements, tee-shirts, "American" candy-bar wrappers, and text-cell phones.

Revealing Noise: The Conspiracy of Presence in Alternate Reality Aesthetics
Adam Pilkey argues that the ARG **Year Zero**'s use of "revealing noise" allows and encourages the audience to help in the building of the narrative by becoming participants in a conspiracy theory within the ARG. Pilkey argues that "The Presence" found in the Nine Inch Nails album and corresponding ARG, **Year Zero**, symbolizes and denies a truth, which in turn provides a means that furthers the resources that constructs conspiracy theories in this alternate reality.
