HITS: Punctuations with Microphones

HIT. Hit Parade is a collective somatic intrusion that entwines sound and space through a logic of labour and endurance. What if every moment of the day and of our lives was punctuated? HIT. Every gesture marked? What if the infinitesimally small was amplified to become noticeable, recordable, replayable? HIT. How to write hits? How to punctuate the sonic through writing?
