… have been confusing.

Here you have an algorithmic ready-made

documenting my first experience

on the chinese app Tik Tok

at an specific time and specific place.

Videos on Tik Tok can be:

nasty, ridiculous or virtuous:

amazing moves, real life

memes,

Spiderman everywhere,

endless moonwalking or

dominoes…

However the emphasis on

sound is undeniable.

These sounds are not about

the identity of an artista or self-promotion.

The idea of a song is

replaced by arbitrary

fragmentation trying

to catch my attention span and reducing it to 15

seconds of mere amusement.

Tik Tok is a compression of

time and space, like YouTube on speed or

the unconscious of this weird age.

I am an spectator of disparate situations

where entertainment,

hobby and art mixes in unpredictable ways.

But my expectatorship is

also actívate listening. I think

this level of music collage on Tik Tok,

mixing field recordings,

songs and soundtracks that

are simultaneously being

used as templates

for generating further

situations is unprecedented.

Tik Tok can be seen either

as depoliticised pure

entertainment

or an ongoing global

collaboration in the digital

realm,

where language is not

always required and invites

for the strangest and

unexpected connections.

This is a record of our times.
