SUBSTRATE.HOST turns the “inaccessible interior” problem into a physical artefact: a Host you can hold, scan, and still not “open.” The NFC tag holds only a pointer; the identity layer can evolve elsewhere. The object remains silent. The interior remains unavailable. ∅

signal // NOISE isn’t a release so much as a constraint made physical: a split listening system, translated into tape, misaligned print, and deliberate degradation. The platform demands a file; the work becomes a ghost in its container. No master version. Only inference.

A cochlear implant can restore sound without restoring meaning. Crossed Wires explores a neglected variable—laterality: which ear is implanted, and which hemisphere receives the signal. For APD and prelingual deafness, routing may matter as much as resolution.
