The following is an exercise in collaborative writing. Denise Sumi retells an encounter that took place during a listening session with artist Nicole L’Huillier, followed by a lecture by decolonial thinker and educator Rolando Vázquez at ifa Gallery in Stuttgart on February 9, 2024, as part of resonanciones. Un abrazo para despertar (An Embrace to Awake), and L’Huillier shares how her contribution to resonanciones blurs the rigid lines that define our realities. Focusing on sound as a time machine, a communication technology, and the specific constellation of resonanciones where machinic and organic entities meet as a social cybernetic system, this text invites the reader to explore ways of sensing and perceiving that call for levels of ontological reality that are different from those in the modern/colonial matrix.
