Reactive Echoes: Analog TV & Victoria's

Discover 'Reactive Echoes,' a powerful video art installation by Arnau Costa. In this thought-provoking piece, an analog TV displays the iconic speech 'Me Gritaron Negra' by Afro-Peruvian artist and activist Victoria Santa Cruz. However, the visuals on the screen are not simply a replay of the speech—they are dynamically generated, reacting to audio signals from a modular synthesizer. The modular synth shapes and distorts the visual representation of the speech, creating a mesmerizing, abstract interplay between sound and image. This fusion of analog technology and digital sound manipulation transforms the TV into a living canvas, where the emotional depth of Santa Cruz's words finds a new form of expression. This work challenges traditional modes of storytelling, using the medium of video art to explore themes of identity, race, and empowerment through both sight and sound. The analog TV, with its retro aesthetic, adds a layer of nostalgia, while the reactive imagery pushes boundaries of modern audiovisual art.
