Hexa Project

HEXA Project is a set of digital graphic and 3D animations that examine the process of the retreat of Schiaparelli Glacier. By means of audiovisual editing techniques, as well as sound field montage, the video provides the ice masses with body and voice through different scales and perspectives. Thus, the work joins and reinterprets two traditional sources on the glacial motion: samples obtained in situ within international scientific expeditions, and data collected from satellite measurements which is later analyzed by glaciologists in Magallanes.

She is a Chilean visual artist currently living and working in Santiago where she works as senior lecturer for the New Media Department and Central Art Workshop at the School of Arts of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile as well as senior lecturer on Cinematic Arts for the Department of Photography at the School of Visual Arts of Universidad Finis Terrae.
Claudia holds an MFA from Universidad de Chile (2011), a BA from Universidad Finis Terrae (2006).
Claudia's work arises from the daily observation of natural elements such as water and air in their relation with universal phenomena such as gravity and time throughout a broad range of scales, making them visible through photography, video and material installations.
Her work has been exhibited internationally including locations such as Paris(FR), Bilbao(ES), Barcelona(ES), Buenos Aires(AR), Santa Cruz(BOL), Stavanger(NR), and numerous cities within Chile and she has been selected and participated in the following art residencies: BilbaoArte Foundation Residence; Art Science Research Residence at Bosque Pehuén by MarAdentro Foundation; Art, Science and Humanities Residence, CAB (Casa Museo Alberto Baeriswyl) at Tierra del Fuego

He holds an MFA from Universidad de Chile and a BFA from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. His artistic research develops in the territories of hybrid disciplines concerning the environment, especially in the interaction between nature and technology. He extends his artistic production in various fields, either from the exhibition of his works collectively and individually in Chile and America (Buenos Aires, Lima, New York), as well as through the creation and management of exhibition projects, residencies, curatorships and the writing for other artists projects.

This video offers a guided tour through the Omora Ethnobotanical Park, located on the north coast of Navarino Island. “Omora” derives from the Yahgan word for hummingbird. For this southernmost indigenous community in the world, Omora is not just a bird: it is also a hero since Omora is said to have helped to maintain the harmony between society and the natural environment. The project of the Park has been designed by environmental researchers and philosophers, who developed the Sub- Antarctic Biocultural Conservation Program and its different main areas: Sub-Antarctic Biodiversity; Socio-Ecological Research and Long-Term Monitoring; Integration between Environmental Ethics, Ecological Sciences in Biocultural Education and Biodiversity Conservation.

Round Table

On Art & Science Translations: From Natural Phenomena to Data Visualization

Moderator: Jazmín Adler

In this round table, the authors of HEXA Project discuss with glaciologists some ideas, challenges and methods involved in the translation of scientific data regarding Schiaparelli Glacier into visual and sound representations. The conversation focuses on how HEXA explores mathematical behaviours in nature from the convergence between artistic imaginaries and scientific research.

PhD(c) in Antarctic and Subantarctic Sciences from Universidad de Magallanes and Civil Engineer in Geography from Universidad de Santiago de Chile. He is a researcher at the Subantarctic Biocultural Conservation Program of Universidad de Magallanes & Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity (IEB) at Omora Ethnobotanical Park in Puerto Williams, Chilean Patagonia.
Francisco Aguirre is also the coordinator of LTSER -Cape Horn network. His broad research interest is the effect of the global changes on Subantarctic biota and its ecosystem, with a focus on atmospheric-hydrological-ecological interaction.

BA in Communication Sciences from Universidad Mayor, Santiago de Chile. She works as a social communicator and organisational adviser in Santiago and Buenos Aires. Angeles Estévez relates the human communication and environment footprint with the communities, the ancestral roots and the current culture. She also studies the relationships between individual and collective memories, and she has collaborated for exhibition and artistic residence in Punta Arenas, Santiago and Plataforma Vertices in Barcelona.
She lives and works in Punta Arenas, Chilean Patagonia.
