ATMOSPHERES OF ATTUNEMENT

​

Who shares the spaces we inhabit? Bosque Vacío is an atmospheric proposal that invites an extended listening of our environments. Through tonal and harmonic exploration of stories, field recordings, forces, trajectories, and presences linked to a place, we generate a sound and light experience in tune with the surroundings. The project seeks to expand bodily sensitivity and emotional response to the spaces we inhabit and the entities with whom we share the world, creating immersive environments, affective cartographies,

and open scores.

Our practice begins with a qualitative fieldwork protocol. We conduct contemplative expeditions to observe and record some of the entities inhabiting a place. We then delve into the uniqueness of these beings from various approaches — historical, biological, and affective. The collected material inspires the development of an immersive light and sound experience, which unfolds the gathered recordings and stories, inviting participants to accompany and explore harmonically and tonally an environment where different beings and realities coexist.

Bosque Vacío understands atmosphere creation as a tool to dissolve the perception of otherness through corporeality, generating a continuous space-time where boundaries become porous. This expansion of bodily perception and affective resonance encourages an active and embodied participation with the environment. The proposal strengthens environmental connection, promoting inclusion and dialogue with cohabiting entities, recognizing the ecosystem as a dynamic and responsive agent.
