Co_Sonic 1884 km²

Robertina Šebjanič

Performance + Panel Discussion | PST ART: Art & Science Collide
6 Dec 2024 - 4:00pm

A three-channel presentation of Co_Sonic 1884 km² with live audio will be performed by the artist, followed by a conversation about water ecology and the rights of nature with invited guests.

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. Using the sounds and images of different lifeforms who (co)habit along the river’s path, dwelling both above and below the water, this multichannel video and sound installation tells the story of (co)existence among river environments and their human and non-human inhabitants.
