Monotonous instructions constantly influence every movement. Following the directions should promise the proper execution and success of any action. However, the overwhelming mass of information and communication errors between sender and recipient leads to an overload of the actor. Information is misinterpreted and execution becomes incorrect. Contexts can no longer be recognized and problems cannot be properly solved. Individuals have reached their limits and cannot keep the system working.

Transmission Noise addresses the increase in pressure and complexity in everyday life due to increasing digitization, individualization and new challenges in the performance society.
