Smoking Mirror: Aethereal Resonances
Symposium participation
A performance-lecture that delves into the relation between weather data and the divinatory rituals inspired by the mythology of the Smoking Mirror. Drawing upon obsidian elements and copper traces as interactive materials, the presentation transforms weather dynamics into immersive soundscapes. The aim is to foster attunement with our atmosphere through a multi-sensory experience.
