She works in Buenos Aires as a curator, radio and sound artist. Her research is based on the notions of noise and rhythm as relative concepts that shape perception, communication and subjectivation.

Her work has been commissioned by the Centro Cultural Kirchner, the Cultural San Martín [AR], Medialab Prado [ES], Tsonami [CL], Aural Festival [MX], Kunst Radio [AT] and Mayhem [DK], among others. Florencia completed her studies in Expanded Music at UNSAM and completed the Artists Program at the Torcuato Di Tella University, and since 2017 she has been directing CASo – Centro de Arte Sonoro, a program of the National Ministry of Culture, within which Radio CASo operates.
Carsten Stabenow (DE)

He studied communications and postgraduate interdisciplinary studies in Berlin and is initiator of diverse festivals, formats and initiatives within the context of new media, art + science and sound art.
Carsten Stabenow is initiator and artistic director of Tuned City and co-founder of the Berlin art and media production platform dock. As an artist he has realised several installations and performed internationally.
In his work he is interested especially in physical, social and political parameters of space.
Nicolás Spencer (CL/DE)
is a sound artist with an academic background as a forestry engineer (Master’s degree, University of Chile) and multimedia art (Master’s degree, University of Chile).
His work focuses on ways of understanding nature in all the depth and complexity. His installations mix the massiveness of its components (rocks, metals, gravity, wind, etc.) with the fragility and immateriality of sound. Spencer’s artistic practice is contaminating (and contaminated by) other areas of knowledge as a way of generating alternative epistemological and aesthetic perspectives.
