Alejandro Valencia-Tobón

I work at the intersection of public art and biological science, drawing on a combination of participatory methods and sonic and visual (film) modes of representation to translate urgent questions about the natural world into social action. I aim to deploy multi-modal practices of participatory sound recording and process-based art as a means to translate scientific methods of tracing, sampling, recording and analysing species into sensory ‘ways of knowing’ to address the threats to biodiversity.
