Conversation with María Antonia González Valerio and Tania Aedo that opens the door to thinking critically about the historical and biological importance of salt and its transformations in the era of technoscience; seeking to extend the questions offered by the exhibition No Sound of Water.
To make the exhibition No Sound of Water, Troika was helped by various knowledge and tools from various areas of knowledge such as biology, geology, chemistry, visual culture, literature and art. This intersection of disciplines allowed him to generate a fictitious ecosystem that resulted in many layers of reflection on salt, the future of the Earth, technology, the climate crisis and the existence of other models of non-organic consciousness.
What is salt? What is the history of its production, of its use, of its exploitation? We carry salt inside, in our body. Without it, we couldn't survive. It has also been indispensable in the establishment of our sedentary lifestyles, because salting food was until very few years ago the main preservation technique. Salt has been a commodity and a product of commercial exchange.
In this conversation, María Antonia González Valerio and Tania Aedo will be given the task of thinking critically about the historical and biological importance of salt and its transformations in the era of technoscience. From an interdisciplinary perspective, they will discuss the exhibition No Sound of Water of the Troika, and they will seek to extend the questions it offers.
