6 Dec 2024 - 4:00pm

Co_Sonic 1884 km² is a performance and panel discussion by Robertina Šebjanič, featuring a three-channel video with live audio performed by the artist. The event explores the connections between water ecology and the rights of nature, with a panel discussion including Robertina Šebjanič, Lauren Bon, Victoria Vesna, Haley Marks, and Alex Hall. This engaging event brings together art, science, and environmental issues, inviting the audience to reflect on important topics about our planet. 

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.
