Martín Baus
Martín Baus, born in Chile in 1992, is a multimedia artist, filmmaker, musician, sound artist, researcher, educator, and curator. He is a member of CEIS8, a collective based in Santiago de Chile that experiments with film formats and photochemical processes. He also co-directs the independent record label Radio Fome, which releases music and sound works based on improvisation. Baus is interested in aurality as both a tool for a potential radical pedagogy from Latin America and a methodology for practice-based artistic research. He approaches sonic phenomena through socio-political perspectives as well as non-audible dimensions. His work includes poetry books exploring the relationship between listening and language, text installations addressing opaque translation processes, publications investigating the connections between salsa rhythms, migration, and working-class struggles, and fiction writing that speculates on the future of sound archives and digital archaeology.
