These are the three texts that I’ve written for the Campo de Relámpagos magazine regarding some of the materials with which audiovisual media are made. That’s to say, a very modest material history of a small part of the cinema, music and the streaming.

The trip starts with a young Megan Ellison in the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal and follows with the cotton fields of the southern United States, the tops of the Camphor trees of the island of Borneo, the assembly hall of the Fine Arts College of the University of the Philippines, the Palacio de Cristal in the Retiro Park in Madrid and the CTM stages in Berlin, Congo and South Africa.
