SONIC MATTER_openlab: Focus on SONANDES, Bolivia

This month, SONIC MATTER_openlab: The Witness, focuses on SONANDES, an art experimentation and research platform from Bolivia. SONANDES’ group of researchers are currently working in the large-scale lithium mining territory of Potosí, Pulacayo (Bolivia). Their aim is to investigate and to share knowledge on this region and its urge to develop mobility and connectivity technologies. Their study proposes a diptych juxtaposing the largest lithium salt deposit on the planet in the Salar of Thunupa (Bolivia) and the one in Potosí, which does not suffer yet from extractivism but probably will in a near future.
