How do mammalian abilities of hearing and sounding underwater adapt to marine environments? What interlinks cetacean sounds, seabed topographies and ocean structures? How do human-whale relations refract through maritime and coastal techniques? This talk sets these questions in dialogue with insights and discoveries from recent experimental hydrophone recordings in the Chilean sub-Antarctic archipelago of Magallanes.

The Faculty of Architecture and Arts at the Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh) will kick off its Academic Year 2025 with an inaugural event to be held on Wednesday, April 3, starting at 2:15 p.m. in the university’s Aula Magna. The event will feature Terra Ignota.
During the opening ceremony, the members of Terra Ignota, Nicolás Spencer, Florencia Curci and Iván Flores (Director Instituto Artes FAA, Chile), will present the talk ‘TERRA IGNOTA: Transdisciplinary research and creative methodologies’, in which they will share their experience in the exploration of innovative methodologies for the generation of knowledge in contexts of environmental and social change.
Later at 16:30 hours, Terra Ignota will carry out the intervention ‘Ecotono’ in the Emilio Pugin building of the Faculty of Science, a proposal that seeks to activate through vibrations the interstice between the Botanical Park and the building. Professors and students from both faculties have been invited to participate in this intervention, fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue between art and science.

How do shifting relations between mammals, climate and geology refract through whale sounds? And how are human techniques of hearing underwater conductive of transformations in human-whale relations?
Raviv Ganchrow is researching rigth now as a fellow of The Centre for Advanced Study inherit. heritage in transformation based at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He will present his project on November 19 @ Lecture Hall 3075, Main Building, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin for the first time (details here). He will be also part of the upcoming artistic research workshop Listening in Practice on November 14 @ Hermann von Helmholtz-Zentrum für Kulturtechnik (HZK) / Tieranatomisches Theater (TA T).

After collaborations with institutions such as the Ethnological Museum Vienna (Weltmuseum Wien) and the Museum of Contemporary Art Santiago (MAC), the first TIF field lab and forum in Yendegaia National Park in March 2023, the geographical mirrored experience with the field lab in Northern Germany (Rügen, September 2023) and the knowledge transfer and training programme at La Leñera Cultural Centre in Valdivia (December 2023), the different lines of activities – which include fieldwork, research, artistic production, mediation and education – now converge in the Terra Ignota Forum hosted by the Universidad de Magallanes in Punta Arenas.

Exhibición March 01 – June 31
Forum March 13 – 15

The Terra Ignota Forum (TIF) is a knowledge transfer and training program with the communities of the Magallanes Region and Chilean Antarctica.

SONIC ISLANDS – Mirrored perceptions between Tierra del Fuego + Rügen
March and September 2023

SONIC ISLANDS focuses on the various auditory aspects of the TERRA IGNOTA project and is part of TIF 2023/24.
We are interested in the meaning of sound as a semantic system and as a form of artistic articulation. Questions about origin, identity, intercultural understanding but also about perception, legibility and interaction with the environment, social processes and structures beyond visually connoted reference systems are the subject of our joint research. Listening and making audible to stimulate changes of perspective in the process of artistic research and knowledge production as well as in communicating to an audience.

During the month of May, through a series of simultaneous radio meetings in the studios of Radio CASo and Radio UACh, some results of the most recent journey of the project will be presented, which included three days of forums with artists, geologists, philosophers, archaeologists, local entrepreneurs, women of the selk’nam and yagán people, with the purpose of analyzing in an interdisciplinary way the potential of a future museum park located in Tierra del Fuego.

The broadcasts are organized in thematic axes from which a diversity of guests on both sides of the mountain range will seek to explore forms of passage on the line that crosses the island of Tierra del Fuego from north to south, the political border between Chile and Argentina.
