According to R. Murray Schafer in his book The Soundscape, our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World, \u201cIn earlier times, natural events were explained as miracles. Loud noises, such as the sound of thunder, evoked fear and respect, seeming to be the expression of divine power.\u201d In the Modern era and beyond, these emotions were transferred from the sounds evoked by thunders, volcanos, storms, etc. to the sounds produced by industrial machinery \u2013 signifying a power shift.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>In current neoliberal worlds, the infrastructures and technologies that surround them have been deeply adopted and adapted to certain lifestyles, to the point of seeming ubiquitous, in effect, a background noise that we have learned to ignore. From within these frameworks, it is difficult to distinguish the apparatus that lies behind them, not only on a technical level but also in regard to the models they pursue and sustain. What does electricity sound like?<\/p>\n<p>**<\/p>\n<p>The cochlea is an inner part of the ear located in the temporal bone, which, because of its shape, was formerly known as the &#8216;snail&#8217;. By transforming sounds into nerve messages that it then sends to the brain, the cochlea is the part that enables the hearing function in the inner ear.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_42301\" style=\"width: 1569px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42301\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42301 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagen-4.-Que\u0301-piensan-los-caracoles.-Daniela-Medina-Poch.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1559\" height=\"1384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagen-4.-Que\u0301-piensan-los-caracoles.-Daniela-Medina-Poch.jpg 1559w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagen-4.-Que\u0301-piensan-los-caracoles.-Daniela-Medina-Poch-451x400.jpg 451w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagen-4.-Que\u0301-piensan-los-caracoles.-Daniela-Medina-Poch-768x682.jpg 768w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagen-4.-Que\u0301-piensan-los-caracoles.-Daniela-Medina-Poch-1536x1364.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1559px) 100vw, 1559px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-42301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cochlea.

Being surrounded by three active nuclear power plants, (Asco\u0301 Power Plant, Vandello\u0301s I II Nuclear Power Plant), the municipality of Tivissa has installed a sound system in all the streets of the town to announce if any nuclear emergency occurs. These sound systems have been re-appropriated and are also used to communicate other official announcements.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do snails think about nuclear power plants?<\/em> is an intervention that gathers interviews with residents from 7 to 103 years old, while it investigates possibilities of post-nuclear futures in Tivissa. The piece, which was broadcasted as a sound composition from the public sound system of Tivissa, is a framework to conceive more-than-human perspectives and to imagine emerging possibilities rather than emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>In Tivissa snails seem to be very important: there is a Plac\u0327a i Barri del Cargol, snail square, and neighborhood and when you walk through the olive and almond trees you can find a lot of empty snail shells. Snails are indicators of the humidity and water of the environment and in recent years there has been a decline in the snail population. Coincidentally, Tivissa and Terras de l\u2019Ebre, as industrial regions that supply energy to Catalonia, also have a repopulation challenge.<br \/>\nAround 30 interviews were conducted with the questions: What do snails think about nuclear power plants? and what should emerge in Tivissa after the nuclear power plants are dismantled?<\/p>\n<p>The final sound piece which was broadcasted through the whole town includes excerpts from the interviews and a poem. After the transmission, the audio composition circulated through Whatsapp channels amongst neighbors who were interested in listening to it again.<\/p>\n<p>The sound composition includes the voices of Ana, Loreto, Rodrigo, Ramo\u0301n, Fany, Guillem, Rosa, Mariona, Dolores del Carboner, Montse, Vicens, Josep, Juan, Nela, Leire, Merce, Rut, Pau, Jordi, Magda, Esther, Lluis, Marisa, Rigoberto, Ebaristo, Ana, Marga, Tere, Jasin, Nuria, Eulalia, Marta, Cris, Noelia, Barabra, Montse, Javi, Jovanna, Stephanie, Teresa, Loredana, Tatiana, Lucia, Albert, Dario, Mari\u0301a and mine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"special-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/790682236?h=b559a570c7\" width=\"640\" height=\"407\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div class=\"columna\">\n<p>Transcripts of a selection of the interviews:<\/p>\n<p><strong>MONTSE<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What do the snails think about the nuclear power plant?<\/strong><br \/>\nLet me analyze the questions. Do snails think? Do I know a snail who has told me what he thinks?<br \/>\nWhat do I think about what snails think about the nuclear power plant?<br \/>\nWell, I hope they are logical if there is a nuclear explosion they are going to die so they must be up to here of the nuclear, like me, right? Or something like this.<br \/>\n<strong>What should emerge after nuclear is dismantled?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Ginkgo Biloba in Hiroshima is the only one that remained, eh?<br \/>\nNobody else was left, so since there is no Ginkgo Biloba here, nobody.<br \/>\nI am not optimistic if there is a nuclear explosion, eh?<br \/>\nI was one of the first to say &#8216;NO&#8217; to nuclear power here when there were none and now we have four. So see if I am happy.<br \/>\nI have been happy all my life. They didn&#8217;t even pay any attention to us (laughter).<\/p>\n<p><strong>MERCE, RUT, and PAU<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What do you imagine the snails think or feel about nuclear power plants?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think they don&#8217;t realize that it is there<br \/>\nBut it affects them even if they don&#8217;t know it.<br \/>\nThe snail&#8217;s rhythm of life is very slow, isn&#8217;t it?<br \/>\nAnd nuclear is another heartbeat.<br \/>\n<strong>What should emerge after nuclear is dismantled?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe people; the people of the territory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEIRE<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What do the snails think about nuclear power plants?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think they think they are in danger because it is like a latent threat to their way of life, because nuclear is something to have respect for, I would say.<br \/>\n<strong>What should emerge after nuclear is dismantled?<\/strong><br \/>\nTo look for an alternative other than that, because not only the snails, all the people are as if we were out in the open in the face of that nuclear, if something were to happen later on or with the radiations. I do not know exactly what nuclear energy does, but we should look for renewable energy alternatives. For example, use the sun more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LORETO<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What do the snails think about nuclear power plants?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think that what the snails feel is vulnerability.<br \/>\nThey feel totally threatened by nuclear, an inexplicable force that translates into sensations that make them feel vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RAM\u00d3N<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What do the snails think about nuclear power plants?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have worked 51 years in a company that is still there but is not working anymore &#8211; 51 years there.<br \/>\n51 years there.<br \/>\nFrom the age of 14 until I was 65 I was there.<br \/>\nThat is to say that I worked for 51 years in the same company.<br \/>\nSo many years there already, the rest I don&#8217;t know anything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"columna\"><strong>TERE<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What do the snails think about the nuclear power plant?<\/strong><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t think they will be very excited about the chilindrines that must be running around here, I don&#8217;t know.<br \/>\n<strong>What should emerge after the nuclear power plant is dismantled?<\/strong><br \/>\nTo take advantage of tourism, if we can pull from tourism and to take advantage of agriculture if we offer possibilities to the farmers. We have cherries, almonds, olives, and vineyards, but they do not pay much and that is the problem with agriculture. But of course, there is very little work, you know? And what work there is, it is poorly paid.<br \/>\nBut that&#8217;s what we have in the villages, we live very well, we are in the middle of nature and it&#8217;s all very nice, but if we want to work we have to move to the cities around.<strong>JUAN<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What do the snails think about the nuclear power plant?<\/strong><br \/>\nThey don&#8217;t think anything.

It gives a lot of money to the state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MONTSE, SARA and JULEN<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What do the snails think about the nuclear power plant?<\/strong><br \/>\nI guess the radioactivity influences them a lot on their health as a snail.<br \/>\nMy mother, who is 103 years old today, used to explain to us that snails come out when it was humid and that they are very smart because they don&#8217;t go into places where there is contamination or where they have thrown pesticides and all this. They reproduce a lot and there used to be some very big ones but due to the poisons we throw away they have changed a lot, the metabolism of the snail does not resist it.<br \/>\n<strong>What should emerge after the nuclear power plant is dismantled?<\/strong><br \/>\nSomething else, but not as toxic as nuclear and its radioactivity.<br \/>\nI suppose we have capable people, people who have studied and all this. Instead of throwing so much radioactivity and so much crap into the ozone layer and all this, we should know how to find a way to generate energy.<\/p>\n<p>(Children)<br \/>\n<strong>Why don&#8217;t you like snails, Sara?<\/strong><br \/>\nBecause she is disgusted by their slime<br \/>\n<strong>What do you know about snails, Julen?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you place them inside a box, they will climb on top of the box as they have a tendecy to escape<br \/>\n<strong>Are snails poisonous?<\/strong><br \/>\nNoooo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"special-images\">\n<div id=\"attachment_42966\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42966\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42966 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ADesk-despacho-ajuntament.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ADesk-despacho-ajuntament.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ADesk-despacho-ajuntament-595x335.jpg 595w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ADesk-despacho-ajuntament-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ADesk-despacho-ajuntament-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-42966\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Broadcasting sound work on the public loudspeaker system at City Hall with the help of officials.
