announcing nula
http://nula.cc/

i am pleased to announce the existence of a nascent project of
mine which i call nula. the word 'nula' means 'zero' or
'nothing' in several languages; notably czech, which i point out
only because i am based in prague.

nula is a filecast, which is like a podcast, except that any
kind of downloadable file may be offered. new files appear at
irregular intervals, and may consist of sound files, video
files, collections of images, or readings; but not strictly
limited only to these categories.

nula filecasts generally consist of an assemblage of fragments
that form a coherent whole (an assertion that will no doubt be
tested repeatedly). fragments may consist of field recordings,
found material, (almost) forgotten cultural fragments; in short,
anything that i find interesting is considered fair game.

the esthetic impulse behind nula filecasts will emphasize "showing"
or "alluding" rather than "expressing".

nula resists using copious wordage to describe or explain the
items you will find. we prefer that these items speak for
themselves as much as possible, and that the audience will
arrive at their own understanding of them, should they choose to
give their attention.
