The video and audio “The voice from the Loudspeaker” (2006.) is derived from the audio work of the same name by musicologist, artist and theorist Vladan Radovanović, who has ever since 1950′s been exploring the correlations of music, the plastic arts and new media. The instance is the key definition, sometimes gradually being formed within the actual structure of the work. What is particular about ” Voice from the Loudspeaker” (issued in the form of vinyl disc in 1975.) is the gradual production of meaning within the work itself. In this case it is produced by speech and listening. The voice that comes out from the speakers self- referentially taking issue with the communication situation that we are actually witnessing. someone (the author) is saying something, while technology is mediating, and we are listening. Magdalena’s “Voice from the Loudspeaker” draws its capacities precisely from many- sidedness of the identification of the instance that addresses to us. Reproducing the original audio recording in a text to speech application, the human voice is translated in a depersonalised digital simulacrum.
