COLLECTIVE RESONANCE

Multidimensional Collage / Collaborative Audiovisual Landscape

This project is a collective exploration of sound and image, a constantly shifting, collaboratively-built audiovisual landscape composed by 47 artists. Each participant contributed a one-minute piece, resulting in a long-form, evolving collage that blurs the boundaries between individual authorship and collective resonance.

The sonic layer is built from a shared archive of more than 1,500 sounds, recorded from electromagnetic, mechanical, and physical sources, then acousmatized through both natural and analog processes. These recordings were edited, filtered, and reassembled digitally, forming a communal bank of raw material made freely available to all artists in the project. Each piece is shaped by the same pool of fragments, yet the final result is as diverse as the contributors themselves.

Visually, the structure mirrors the same principle: a collaborative base of still and moving images created by the artists through analog or digital capture, or by using video synthesis tools such as Vsynth, an open-source software developed by artist and colleague Kevin Kripper. This shared visual archive became the foundation for layered compositions that respond to and extend the sonic pieces.

Together, these micro-works form a macro-composition, a multi-authored organism in which fragments coalesce into a single immersive experience. The project is not only an archive of gestures, but a model for artistic cooperation: one where resources, processes, and imagination are collectively held and redistributed.

Later broadcast by Radio CASo (Argentinian Center of Sound Art), this work invites listeners and viewers into a fragmented, ever-changing topography of signal, noise, and shared authorship.
