Cadaqués Canal Local

From his beginnings, Muntadas focused his artistic practice on a critical analysis of the media as ways of transmitting and interpreting reality. For him, art has a new function, a practical application in sociological debate and everyday life. During the seventies, when there was only one official commercial television in Spain, controlled by the Franco regime, Muntadas conceived Cadaqués Canal Local (July 1974) and Barcelona Distrito 1 (October 1976) as experiments in communication through local television, which were set alongside the dominant public television, understood as an instrument of power and characterised by the rigidity of its ways of transmitting information. Both projects shared the desire to work on a place and a community, stressing their specific features and the processes of transformation they were undergoing.
