A galactic clump in deep space emits radio frequency waves and visible light; The advancement of technical transduction devices has allowed the human being to listen to the interpretation of these waves adapted for his hearing. In this work we explore this radio wave emission and from the sounds captured by NASA probes, the generation of pulses by electroluminescence and the creation of loops, we propose a cosmic journey of acousmatic imagination.

Cuásar tells us about sidereal objects that are millions of light years away, it is the image of the most remote and unfathomable past, it is the light of what we once were and it is the cosmic energy to which we will return. The visual work is a metaphor for the fabulous accumulation of light, which would propose a sum of light from all the images generated by human beings in the world (whose saturation would be assimilated to white noise) and its deconstruction into intermittent pulses, which allow us to freeze time and see how the frames are revealed simulating a zoetrope effect.
