CADA IMPULSO QUE ESTALLA
NODOCCS MISTERIOSO OBJETO RESIDENCY
OCTOBER 2022
Venezuelan artist collective nodoCCS (Diana Rangel & María Bilbao Herrera) works across sound, image, performance and participatory practices, exploring circular approaches to history, memory and collective experience.
During their ACME residency, *Cada impulso que estalla* explored the memory of the Spanish Civil War through a site-specific sound practice in Paredes de Buitrago, a former battlefield of the Frente del Agua.
Field recordings and vocal actions developed in the territory were brought back to ACME, where recycled timber and plywood from previous productions were transformed into acoustic devices and interactive listening objects. The resulting installation connected sound, body and collective memory through practices of listening, poetry and ancestral Warao traditions.
Materials: field recordings, voice, sound, image, recycled timber and plywood, projection, water.

Misterioso Objeto was an ACME Estudio residency programme developed between 2022 and 2023, bringing together five creators —nodoCCS, Vicent Orts, Pía Mendaro, Gema FB Martín and Lucas Muñoz— to explore circularity through collective creation.
Each resident was invited to develop a new work using offcuts and surplus materials from ACME's productions, while inheriting a fragment or material from the previous resident. This created a continuous chain of transformation, turning the residency into a collective Cadáver Exquisito in which each work became the starting point for the next.
The programme explored circularity not only as a material practice, but also as a model for shared authorship, collaboration and resourcefulness — recovering materials, tools and existing resources to encourage creative processes that adapt to the world rather than requiring the world to adapt to them.
