Six different sessions will take place inside the installation space, where guests will make an interpretation of the work presenting their vision and appropriation of the piece.

Does Infinity Have a Size? / Jaclyn Avidon
Jaclyn will discuss what the concept of infinity means in mathematics, and how we can show that there are multiple types of infinity. As long as you know how to count, you can see that just as infinity has many representations in art, it also has many representations in mathematics.

Sounds Above/Vibrates Below. Sound Design Piece / Gilberto Castillo
“Sounds Above/Vibrates Below” is a work based on a simple melody, which is deconstructed to slowly distribute its elements in simultaneous pitch and rhythmic planes, generating a spaced static texture. It shifts between synthetic sounds and field recordings of natural elements, human chants, city rumbles, and other soundscapes.
