Constanza Piña Pardo
Sound artist who bases her work on electronic experimentation, open source technologies, DIY philosophy and technofeminist social practices. She explores noise as a sonic, political, cultural and spiritual phenomenon. Her practice blends contemporary technologies with ancient techniques through speculative narratives.Since 2013, she's researched pre-Hispanic ancestral computing systems, materializing in "Khipu // Electrotextile Pre-Hispanic Computer," awarded at Ars Electronica Prix 2020.
This research fuses speculation and Andean science fiction to vindicate ancestral knowledge often underrated by hegemonic scientific sources. Active in the underground experimental music scene since 2010 under the pseudonym Corazón de Robota, she exclusively uses DIY synthesizers she creates. Through this, she explores audible/inaudible frequencies, psycho-physical perceptions of sound, and the rhythmic dimensions of noise.
As founder of the Technofeminist meeting Cyborgrrrls (2017-2022, Mexico), Constanza contributed to the creation of non-institutional spaces based on mutual care, collective pleasure, and technological subversion. She currently works as an independent artist and teaches at her project/school Non Binary Electronic Berlin.
