Centre d’Art Tecla Sala

A machine that embodies a reflection regarding the difficulties and perils of communication; it records the spectators’ words and then returns them, first like an echo, and later as a reminder.

This artefact follows the line of work that the artist began with pieces like Speech (2O15-2O2O), where the modification of messages to the point of obliterating them or transforming them into something else, leads to our connection with the piece. The sounds that the spectator projects through three microphones are processed and emitted by the machine through three loudspeakers, causing repetitions and temporal offsets that generate new lines of discourse, often in a garbled or contradictory way.

Watch out! Measure your words.
