Memory Garden by Iman Person is an immersive sonic installation that explores Black speculative archives through somatic memory, ethnobotany, and land extraction. Suspended glass sculptures with ceramic embellishments represent the shape of the hippocampus—the brain’s memory center. Historical and live weather data from St. Ann, Jamaica—such as humidity, air quality, and temperature—triggers layered audio throughout…

Robertina Šebjanič’s Co_Sonic 1884 km² is an audio/visual-poetic reflection and AI-powered soundscape which explores the Ljubljanica river’s seven distinctly named sections as one integrated whole.

Blown glass sculptures evoke the bubble nets formed by the breath of whales…

Patricia Cadavid’s Electronic _Khipu_ is an instrument for interaction and experimental sound generation operated by weaving knots with conductive rubber cords into which sound compositions are encoded. This instrument is based on an Andean quipu, the ancient textile “computer” used for the processing, encryption, and transmission of information in knots and cords of cotton and wool.…
