« This talk deals with insularity, relationship, repentismo, improvisation, rhapsody. There are places where people must repair their objects so much that they decide to leave them open, disassembled; their guts splayed out on tables, couches, floors. Cables remain exposed, electronic parts liberated, chassis unscrewed. Destruction, paradoxically, accelerates repair work. They take these shortcuts through junk piles to prevent the television from changing channels without warning—just when the novela is getting good—, or to make it change channels even when the selector is broken; for the radio to hold—without turning off—a handful of batteries strapped to it with tape, like to the body of a suicide-bomber about to go off. The stream of white, black, red, green, blue, yellow, brown, grey cables floods the table, bifurcates in order to flow between transistors, Bakelite buttons, thermostats, winding motors, pierced plastic housings, screws, antennas, magnets. If we pay attention we can recognize, almost everywhere, small printed letters and numbers, sometimes isolated, sometimes in sequences, as if there were a reader in the world for those signs and symbols. As the skein grows, the signs accumulate and seem to form words, sentences, and even paragraphs, regardless of their intelligibility. In any case, reading them wouldn’t explain much. » — Ernesto Oroza
