tiny dots began to emerge 2025

Fragments of resistance linger in the air, voices that once inhabited the airwaves as a form of survival. Can the frequencies of a broadcast persist beyond its moment, endlessly suspended, waiting to be heard? 

Here, transmission haunt our existence, resonating with us.



tiny dots began to emerge is inspired by my research on the archive of Chile al día, a radio broadcast from Radio Berlin International, in the GDR. The program was broadcast every night on SW, for 30 minutes, from September 11, 1973, until March 10, 1990. This research generated a sensory shift in my listening experience, echoing what Ana Friz frames as an ‘aesthetics of resonance’. Whilst being immersed between written documents and digitalised tapes, I began to understand this archive not as such, but as a radio transmission out of time. The struggles and resistances of times past became relevant in the present.

In this sense, this work is not about searching for concrete facts from the past; rather, it is about considering how the elements of this radio archive can be transmitted today. Adopting the concept of an ‘aesthetic of resonance’, as well as the idea of ‘echoes inventory’ developed in the book Desierto Sonoro by Valeria Luiselli –a present sound that make audible the abscent– I reflected whether these transmissions are still flying in the air, waiting to be heard.
