Vivian Caccuri uses installation and performance to analyse the impact of sound on social and cultural formations. Talking Machine charts the emergence and trajectory of Brazil’s vinyl industry, from the arrival of Fred Figner, an entrepreneurial European immigrant who pioneered the first production and sale of Brazilian music on vinyl records in the early 1900s, to its impact on Brazilian artists such as Cildo Meireles, Waltercio Caldas and Chelpa Ferro.
