RINCON, Omar  y  FORERO, Carolina. On contemporary digital visual elements: ¡We had never been as acoustic as now, that we are digital!. Signo pensam. [online]. 2008, vol.27, n.52, pp.206-217. ISSN 0120-4823.

Sonority is a narrative and aesthetic feature that takes part into all forms of media accounts, even in audiovisual and digital ones. This essay argues that media sonorities are based on oral traditions, narrative subjectivities, radio cultures, musical expressivities and artistic explorations. Thus, visual elements found in media can also be though of as sonorities, since they can also be described in terms of pitch, cords, notes, rhythm, silence, dissonances and beats. Media sonorities give form to contemporary digital visual elements.
