What Remains in the Air is an immersive multimedia installation developed through field research and collaborative processes with Amazonian communities in Ucayali, Peru. Combining sound recordings, documentary imagery, traditional songs, generative visuals, and interactive technologies, the work explores the relationship between territory, climate change, memory, and cultural transformation.

Created during the international S+T+ARTS Buen-TEK residency program, the project emerged from conversations and shared experiences with Shipibo-Konibo and Iskonawa communities, focusing on disappearing soundscapes, ecological change, and the fragile transmission of ancestral knowledge across generations.

The installation integrates spatial sound, moving image, and generative systems to construct a contemplative environment where visitors navigate fragments of voices, forests, rivers, and sonic memories. Rather than presenting the Amazon as a static landscape, the work approaches it as a living territory shaped by tension, resilience, transformation, and memory.

Through the intersection of art, technology, and traditional ecological knowledge, What Remains in the Air invites audiences to reflect on the sounds, practices, and relationships that slowly vanish as ecosystems and communities are transformed by contemporary environmental and social pressures.

Lo que queda en el aire

Lo que queda en el aire es una instalación multimedia desarrollada durante la residencia internacional S+T+ARTS Buen-TEK 2025–2026, organizada por IMPAKT, ATA y la Estación Chana de la PUCP en la Amazonía peruana. El proyecto surge de un proceso de investigación artística y trabajo de campo realizado en comunidades shipibo-konibo e iskonawa de Ucayali.

La obra combina registros sonoros del bosque, cantos tradicionales, testimonios comunitarios, video documental y visuales generativos desarrollados mediante sistemas interactivos. A través de una experiencia inmersiva de sonido e imagen, la instalación propone una reflexión sobre la transformación de los ecosistemas amazónicos, la pérdida de memorias sonoras y las tensiones entre tecnología, extractivismo y territorio.

El proyecto fue concebido desde una metodología colaborativa basada en el diálogo con comunidades amazónicas, integrando conocimientos ecológicos tradicionales, arte contemporáneo y tecnologías digitales como procesamiento espacial de audio, sensores de movimiento y visualización generativa de datos.

Estrenada en el IMPAKT Festival 2026 en Utrecht, Países Bajos, la obra busca generar una experiencia contemplativa sobre aquello que desaparece lentamente del paisaje: sonidos, prácticas culturales y formas de relación con la naturaleza.
