Main Article Content
Abstract
Noise as a form of artistic and political expression has gained relevance in various cultural contexts, especially in experimental music and subcultures. In Ecuador, noise has emerged as a tool of resistance, questioning social and political norms through its disruptive aesthetics. Collectives and artists have used this genre to express discontent and promote social critique, adapting international influences to their own context. By challenging conventional perceptions of sound, creates an atmosphere of disorder and chaos that reflects social and political tensions. The influence of movements like Fluxus and artists like John Cage and Luigi Russolo blends with the Ecuadorian reality, providing a space for reflection and action against oppression. This phenomenon is not just a sonic act, but a political stance, where sound becomes a vehicle for change and cultural subversion.
