Since 2008, radio artist and radio documentarian Julio de Paula has been traveling throughout Latin America as a self-described "apprentice tourist". The products of those travels are recordings and images in structures that juxtapose words and soundscapes. Lost in tales and memories, "El sur es el norte" (South is North, screenplay based on mythology of the Pueblos originating in Latinoamerica . Quote: Alejandro Jodorowsky , Eduardo Galeano , Mario Benedetti , Oswald de Andrade and Sacred Words of the Guarani People) conveys the errant traveler's attempt to reconnect with the natural world. In its essence, a radio play emerges as sound, yet it may be included as a proposition for "visual radio" as a new, experimental possibility.

In Marco Scarassatti's "Everyday Life and Music, cooking sounds", an alchemical operation takes place during the transformation of the elements. A camera held high above a stove and the sounds of pots and pans frying and cooking various dishes that alternate in a musical montage of those sounds. From the ordinary to the extraordinary, basic foods become prepared dishes and units of sound become music. This image music series captures the sound of fire as it acts upon the foods, cooking or frying them in order to abstract the music that rises from the pans like smoke.

Alex Hamburger's performance "Notation Samba" merges a collage of sounds and images into "expanded poetry". The microphone is a symbolic image that persists to this day whenever the subject of radio is explored. This piece was presented at a rock bar event, its audio portion later broadcast on a radio program.

Lenora de Barros' "omínimosommínimo" is a vocal performance of a visual poem that was published in her book Onde se vê. Translated from a Portuguese phrase that she transformed into a single word, the poem's title means "the slightest sound".

Vivian Caccuri - In the proposition titled "Adeus" ["Farewell"] the sculpture is a modified radio. Its sound juxtaposes static that reacts to the footsteps of people walking around it. Thelmo Cristovam has compiled a series of soundscapes and images that he calls "phonophotographs". Cadu Tenório's videos illustrate sound work in order to underscore the listening experience by means of fragmented moving images, like memories re-signified by the passing of time.

Dedo is a group that consists of members Lucas Pires (playing cassettes), Rafael Meliga (on guitar and Monotron), and Arthur Lacerda (playing amplified objects). Together, they work with acoustic intensities, fragmenting and experimenting with digital violations that seek to create complex signs of which images are an integral part.
