Escoitar

A collective of sound artists and activists, Escoitar is made up by Carlos Suárez Sánchez, Julio Gómez, Juan Gil Rodríguez, Horacio González, Chiu Longuita and Bernio Molina. Anthropologists, musicologists, fine art graduates or multimedia artists, the work of Escoitar members focuses on sound, sound memory and the ethical engagement of cultural action. They develop their activity online using open source as a key concept for social activation. They have recently created an interactive sound map of Galicia offering telematic access to the sounds of the landscape and to the life of a specific geographic area.
