In this performative lecture, artist Juan Arturo García presents his research project about a nuclear reactor in Colombia. Radioactivity, earthquakes, and applications like geochronology are used as props to explore the paradoxes of trying to visualise inaccessible phenomena. García’s translation, or poetics of displacement, taps into the present cultural, mystical, and political consequences of technological deployments in Latin America. The lecture is followed by a Q&A session with Professor Alice Twemlow and audience members.25 Feb 2024Amsterdam, The Netherlands→ Explore more of the Sonic Acts Biennial 2024 programme at 2024.sonicacts.comCredit:Production: Sonic ActsCamera: Engage!
