As every year, IN-SONORA comes back reinvented. For this event, the festival opens a new initiative and a new space for the development of performative projects. We are talking about a Twitter account https://twitter.com/twIn_sonora" target="_blank">@twln_sonora. We can find an increasing number of works of art about the phenomenon of sound, but how can Twitter’s characteristics be used in order to elaborate a discourse about sound?

The iniciative @twln_sonora consists of a-week-long artistic residences in the namesake Twitter account. Those interested in participating must suggest an artistic project to be developed in that account for seven days during the celebration of 9 International Sound and Interactive Art Show, March 2016.

The adaptation of the project to the characteristics of the space to act (Twitter) and its relation to any other expression or concept related to sound will be valued. A jury will select five projects to be developed in succession in the account @twin_sonora between the 02 of March and the 06 of April, 2016.

Twitter shows a series of conditions which are both restrictive and liberating when it comes to encourage talent and the development of creative projects. The 140-character limit becomes the “measure” of Twitterart works. Before such severity, creativity can break or, otherwise, develop contents and initiatives that find their meaning when meeting this requirement. Are you ready?

We are looking forward to your proposal!
