Genomic musical art
Sonic Biogenesis: Genomics and Mutant Jungles is a solo show at Beacon Gallery in Boston, Massachusetts on view through May 2, 2021. It features Galindo’s “genome scores” which consist of graphic representations of his musical compositions and artwork merging textures of plants, animals and microbes.
Guillermo Galindo is an experimental composer, sonic architect, performance artist and visual media artist. His work focuses on redefining the conventional limits between music, the art of music composition and the intersections between art disciplines, politics, humanitarian issues, spirituality and social awareness. Beacon Gallery, located in SoWa, Boston’s art and design district, focuses on curating shows with an eye towards activism and social justice.

This work and the others in the Sonic Biogenesis: Genomics and Mutant Jungles series are meant to simulate a window into a post-biogenetic future and comment on the colonization of the microscopic world by corporations.
