Gerd Sielfeld (CL)
dedicated to understand the nature of deformation in the Andes mountain range, Gerd works by combining perspectives of structural and seismotectonic geology. With experience in active volcanic chains (Southern Andes and Southern Andes), he is the scientific coordinator of the Prisma Austral Foundation, developing a multidisciplinary approach in the canals and fjords of the Magallanes region, bringing together teams of biology, geophysics, geology, art and archeology. He has participated in the creation of documentary series for the dissemination of earth sciences and has collaborated with artists in the creation of the first scientific mural in Chile.
Its fundamental motivation is the creation of knowledge for the responsible conservation of pristine land- and seascapes.

Diego Cortés (CL)
Technician in Plastic Arts and Design with a specialty in artistic casting and electroplating. He has worked on various artistic installations in Chile, Spain, and Switzerland. He has participated in different designs and installations of Terra Ignota, including the ‘wind oscillators,’ their field test installation; the ‘oscillator,’ the version powered by industrial motors of the ‘wind oscillators’; and the design and testing of the hanging system for the ‘Rocks’ installation. He was also in charge of assembling pieces and museography for the first homonymous exhibition of the project at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santiago. His specialty is the design, assembly, and testing of experimental metal and mechanical pieces with extensive experience in technical project development for artists, architects, and designers.

Raviv Ganchrow (US/IL/NL)
is an artist and sound researcher based in Amsterdam, NL. His work researches the interdependencies between sound, place and listening, aspects of which are explored through installations, writing, and the development of pressure-forming and vibration-sensing technologies. His installations examine context-dependent sites of contemporary listening relating to environmental infrasound (Long-Wave Synthesis, Dark Ecology, Kirkeness, NO and Sonic Acts, Amsterdam, NL), mineral piezoelectricity (Quartz Attention, Hyperobjects, Ballroom Marfa, Texas, USA), anechoic chambers (Padded Sounds, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin, DE) and materiality of radio transmission (Radio Plays Itself, Forecast for Shipping and Knallfunken) in collaboration with ORF Kunstradio, AT, BBC Radio 4, UK, and Deutschlandfunk Kultur respectively, DE. Recent installations develop in-situ circuits relating to human-mineral binds (Agora Circuit, Tuned City / Onassis Cultural Foundation, Messene, GR) and telluric currents (Westhafen Ground-Electric, Singuhr at ZK/U Berlin, DE). Raviv Ganchrow is currently a faculty member at the Institute of Sonology, University of the Arts, The Hague, NL.

Paul Gründorfer (AT)
is using process-related setups to explore sonic worlds and to realise site specific interventions, developing real time audio systems, that act autonomous or in reference to the spatial constellation. While considering the encounters between analog and digital, structured or improvised elements, he is focusing on the abstract occurrence of sound and its physical impact.
Electronic circuits are interconnected to cause semi-natural entities, autonomous organisms. Voice and articulation are generated through loops in feedback networks. Onomatopoeia.
Artistic activities examine the connections of acoustic and visual transmitter – receiver networks. The topic transmitter – receiver is assumed as a conceptual framework for process-related experiments with of sound, light and transmission of information, but also refers to the applied research methods.
