The guided listening is a session with Jorge Bejarano, sound artist and curator who will delve into the context of the exhibition Colectivo Sonoscopia. oCo, located in our Lab3.
About the exhibition
Colectivo Sonoscopia. oCo is an installation that proposes sound as an element that transcends geographic and cultural borders to become a spiritual and transformative force. Thus, the sound narrative of this installation is composed of a series of soundscapes recorded during experiences in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, which in turn are mixed with some sounds from the electromagnetic spectrum.
