Notes on the cone of silence

Getting smart exponentially eighty-six times louder implodes inner ear drums speaking popular cultural tongues. Something chaotic, something controlled acts as narrativized object maybe. Constructed cones either stalagmite or stalactite or even Luddite megaphones in pairs regurgitate tin cans attached by a string into Doric columns.

Question then of static versus kinetic (audio or video) activated by motion sensor dictates whether form follows function or vice versa. Clear glass wired for short distance gobblygook or Donald Judd solid forms?
