Like the image, the sound of Vaccinated has an intriguing balance between reality and fantasy. This balance doesn’t rely on a spectacular effect but rather on a precise mixing of very familiar and warm elements with the absurd, the strange, and the artificial. Its magical touch is that you don't need a realistic representation to believe it. The piece does not try to trick you at any moment, you can accept it, and a big part of this charm is due to the subtle sound treatment: very natural and casual, with a special touch of humor in the border of the readable, somewhere between the funny and the ironic, between a self-portrait of social media and a Z movie. Maybe this is precisely where we are in this strange process of technical mutation. If it is true, the sound of this artwork should feel like home.

The strange is commonplace in this selection of sonic artworks, as well as the will to break free from a centralist mankind discourse and its representational crisis. The fact that all centrality generates margins by default gives us a clue of how important it is to observe the surroundings, where the otherness, the invisible, and the relegated support the central as the maximum point of attention.  Around us, there will always be sound.

Listening is a perception that is often left behind in artistic circuits and industries. Since the 1970s when sound art appeared as a separate discipline, different strategies were used to make sound and listening exercises more notorious or conscious. Even though these strategies helped to put sound on stage (music, noise, and various compositions), it has other means of distribution, separate from visual art. Today we also find an NFT circuit that has relegated the audio to silence in a similar way to the platforms in which we access content (like social media, streaming platforms, and video games). Although there is a level of concern around this situation, the sound still seems to be put in second place: it is turned off by default.

Listening is a highly charged emotional experience, operating in that part of a symbolic field that we are not prepared to approach. What exactly do we miss when we forget to turn on the sound of an artwork? Can this aspect of the crypto art reveal something about our modernity? How does this particular sound look like?

This selection of tokenized artworks allows us to see and listen at the same time. Here we look at the aesthetic climate of a region, exploring artistic strategies between digital and discursive tools created to express ideas and feelings through sound.
