Las fuerzas del suelo (“The forces of the ground”) is a lecture performance by artist Julia Rossetti aka Látigx and curator Daniela Ruiz Moreno.
As if in a radio programme they navigate through one of the most relevant archives of sound art in the Latinamerican region (the archive of the CASo, Centre of Sound Art in Buenos Aires, Argentina) and through field recordings of popular demonstrations, protests and celebrations in the streets of different parts of Argentina. In dialogue with artists and theorists of the region Julia and Daniela present the relevance of these collective initiatives which articulate in anarchivistic assamblages.
The piece is a sound and visual journey without destination point through geographical, domestic and institutional territories; a multilingual narration in Spanish, English, Chinese and in digital languages such as transcoding, graphic score and web browsing.
