This series is meant to be a reminder: listening can be more than a passive, forgetful experience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Livy Onalee Snyder (LS):<\/strong> You led a workshop during Co-Prosperity\u2019s Subversion Camp this summer and invited participants to build hybrid instruments from recycled and obsolete technology. What initially drew you to explore sound-making through planned obsolescence and tech recycling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Juanjos\u00e9 Rivas (JR):<\/strong> My work as an artist, from its beginnings, has been concerned with how we relate to technology and its material and symbolic consequences. The use of technological waste and recycled material is a form of resistance and a political commentary on excessive production and capitalism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LS:<\/strong> How does working with discarded or outdated materials change the way we think about music, instruments, or sound itself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JR:<\/strong> Working with sonic residues or electronic tools that are not strictly technological instruments makes us reconsider what we understand as music and expand our aesthetic and musical boundaries. It allows for a deeper and more active form of listening, where noise and silence are indispensable parts of the musical experience. Finding sonic possibilities in obsolete tools or found objects broadens our creative horizons and limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sixtyinchesfromcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/foto_-1414-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A photograph of eight attendees of the Vozu workshop working around tables with recycled materials in front of them.

What are your basic instructions for assembling such a device?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JR:<\/strong> Of course! I don\u2019t have instructions and the materials online, but I think the important thing about the workshop is knowing that anyone, with or without prior knowledge of electronics or music, can experiment by learning some basic electronics rules and using few resources. There are currently many online forums and tutorials for working with electronics at home or experimentally. I think the important thing in an in-person workshop like the one I gave at Co-Prosperity is to shift the ideology from &#8220;Do It Yourself&#8221; to &#8220;Do It Together.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing experiences and getting to know each other becomes more and more important than sharing information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sixtyinchesfromcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/foto_-1431-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A photograph of two attendees of the VOZU workshop working together on their sound instruments.

What do you see as the connection between collaborative instrument-making and resisting dominant technological or musical infrastructures?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JR:<\/strong> I think the essential idea of \u200b\u200bthe workshop is to question the relationship we have with consumption and the distribution of symbolic and material resources, questioning what we listen to, whether musical or not, and what we consume materially, whether technological resources or not. It has to do with a series of cultural, economic, and political values \u200b\u200bthat are imposed on us, limiting us to consuming without questioning. In that sense, the workshop aims to offer a space for exchange and collective connection to ask ourselves how and why we consume what we consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LS:<\/strong> How do you hope participants will listen differently after building these \u201cautonomous sonic devices\u201d?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JR:<\/strong> The idea is for workshop participants to leave with the understanding that everything around us has expressive and artistic possibilities, and that all we need to do is listen carefully and sensitively to everything around us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"73237\" src=\"https:\/\/sixtyinchesfromcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/foto_-1447-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white photos of workshop attendees with their sound instruments.

It&#8217;s always nice to meet people with different interests and cultures and know we can engage in dialogue and sharing.

His work is characterized by exploring the boundaries between sound, art and technology with a strong artistic background and a passion for experimentation. Throughout his artistic practice, Rivas has used a variety of media, including drawing, photography, video, sound installations, electro-acoustic compositions and live performances. His creations often involve the use of digital and electronic technologies, allowing him to expand the expressive possibilities of sound without separating from improvisation as the main resource, to elaborate a discourse through translation, error and interference within the different artistic languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">In addition to his artistic work, Juanjos\u00e9 Rivas has contributed significantly to the Mexican sound scene as director of VOLTA, improvisation and sound experimentation sessions with more than 12 years of work. He has given workshops and conferences on sound art, art and technology, and creative processes, and has collaborated with other artists and musicians in multidisciplinary projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center six-pattern-credit is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sixtyinchesfromcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250801_02645_Large-2-edited-768x768-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixtyinchesfromcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250801_02645_Large-2-edited-768x768-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sixtyinchesfromcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250801_02645_Large-2-edited-768x768-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sixtyinchesfromcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250801_02645_Large-2-edited-768x768-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><strong>About the author:&nbsp;<\/strong>Livy Onalee Snyder\u2019s writing has appeared in the&nbsp;<em>Journal for Metal Music Studies, DARIA, Ruckus, TiltWest, Signal,<\/em>&nbsp;and more.

Through their unique process of cutting, pasting, and layering, Bri deepens the meaning of these found objects, transforming them into evocative works of art. Bri\u2019s practice is deeply rooted in the exploration of identity, relationships, and the constant evolution of self. By merging archival materials with elements of popular culture, they create thought-provoking narratives that invite viewers to engage with the complexities of the queer experience. Through their work, Bri honors the past while also pushing the boundaries of contemporary art history, crafting pieces that are as introspective as they are expansive.
