Exhibition Co_Sonic 1884 KM² by Robertina Šebjanič at Watermans Arts Centre

Co_Sonic 1884 km² is a visual-poetic reflection and an AI powered soundscape that tells the story of the (co)existence of river environments and their inhabitants. The project brings us closer to the life of river flora and fauna, while drawing attention to the problematic nature of human control over the aquatic environment. By moving away from an anthropocentric view of the world, the artist reveals a new perspective on the Ljubljanica River in Slovenia and its ecosystem. Throughout history, the Ljubljanica has worked its way below and above the surface. Unaware that they are the same river, people have given different names to each of the above-ground parts of the river. Co_Sonic 1884 km² shows its water body through the prism of its integral whole.

Robertina Šebjanič (Ljubljana) is an awarded and internationally exhibited artist/researcher whose work explores the biological, chemical, (geo)political and cultural realities of aquatic environments and the impact of humanity on other organisms. Her projects call for the development of empathetic strategies aimed at recognising the other (non-human) species.
