XVIII sound art festival Tsonami
14 – 20.01.2025, Valparaiso, Chile
The atmosphere is the threshold where terrestrial and cosmic dynamics intertwine in an ever-changing process. Its gaseous structure shields us from the radiation of space, allowing the development of life and climatic phenomena on Earth. This ethereal envelope, which connects our perception with the infinite, sustains a fragile balance of planetary cycles whose course is beginning to alter today. The atmosphere is the air we breathe, the space we inhabit, the matter through which sound propagates, the interface where the processes that sustain life on the planet meet.
The XVIII edition of the Tsonami Festival arises from the fascination for atmospheric and planetary scale phenomena, from the amazement at the dynamics of the climate, the interaction with the energy coming from space or the way in which these processes define the forms of life and culture in our fragile environment.
We are pround to co-curate this edition together with Florencia Curi and Fernando Godoy.
