Besides the audiovisual content, CAB will also presents a round table discussion a round the project concept with the participation of chilean artist Alejandra Perez, colombian curator and art historian Sara Garzón, biologist Pamela Santibañez and the artist and director of CAB, Maria Luisa Murillo.

elpueblodechina aka Alejandra Pérez will create for «In/Out Festival» an experimental sound work called «Proxies« that responds to the concepts of resistance and power through a non-hierarchy approach, focusing on the processes of sedimentation in domestic space.

El Peor de los Días aka Sebastián Orueta will present a musical/sound performance based on the last October 2019 resistance riots in Chile, with objects, instruments, materials, and voices.

Sebastián Orueta (Santiago de Chile, 1997) is a bachelor of the School of Arts of the Catholic University of Chile. During his short experience in the artistic world, he has managed to carry out his work in a broad and comprehensive way, adopting different media and artistic forms. Exploring audiovisual installations, sculptures, performance, objects, and sounds, Sebastian proposes an event  that occurs in space to reflect on the role that our perception plays and mainly the sound in our environment.

RGB is a collective of Chilean visual artists. Formed by Isidora Correa (Santiago, 1977), Claudia Müller (Santiago, 1983) and Maria Luisa Murillo (Santiago, 1979), who will present a recorded performance of a sound and visual installation, through security cameras and experimental sounds. The collective of sound and media art RGB was born in quarantine, due to the dissatisfaction of the transfer of the visual arts to the virtual context, and the need to express themselves through a medium that makes sense, and allows new ways to connect individually and collectively, through the cross of experimental sound, installation, and performance.
