In Search of Aztlan - Mart​í​n Rodr​í​guez

from Sonic Encounters with Borders by Walking Festival of Sound

/

about

In Search of Aztlan is an intervention-based work following the Chicanx artist Martín Rodríguez as he explores the territory around his childhood home, investigating how borders, both physical and psychological, shape our individual and collective identities, and in doing so cracking a window into the US/MX border. The recording submitted to the Walking Festival is from Rodriguez’s initial radio investigations along the migrant paths of the Sonoran desert utilizing a cassette deck radio, a crystal radio, and an experimental radio antenna that fuses the Mexican folk craft known as an Ojo de Dios (God’s eye) with a traditional loop antenna. By merging audio recordings of various freely migrating radio signals along with field recordings, the resulting work explores the ability for sound to embody the presence of human-made borders, and the identities of those who exist along their margins.
