Residency: Patterns and care: Mathematical thinking in the Amazon

Jimmy Carrillo is an interdisciplinary Peruvian artist exploring climate change, memory, and indigenous knowledge through technology and storytelling. He’s developing Territory, Sound, and Shared Memory, an immersive sound installation with Amazonian communities. Author of the award-winning graphic novel 181, he holds a Master’s in Innovation and works with environmental and human rights groups to amplify voices and promote territorial and cultural sustainability.


“Territory, Sound, and Shared Memory” is an immersive sound installation co-created with Amazonian communities in Peru. The project explores the effects of climate change on ecosystems, memory, language, and culture. Through participatory fieldwork and sound cataloging, the installation combines traditional ecological knowledge with scientific data to create a living archive of a transforming ecosystem.

As visitors move through the installation, motion and proximity sensors will activate layers of spatial sound, including recorded voices, forest ambience, and data sonifications. The goal is to create an experience that centers listening as a political, sensory, and ecological act.


Inspired by the principles of Buen Vivir and Lo-TEK, the project reclaims technology as a tool for care, reciprocity, and memory. It seeks to amplify the voices of communities deeply connected to their territory who are often excluded from dominant narratives.


The project will culminate in a dynamic installation and publicly accessible sound archive to foster dialogue, awareness, and an emotional connection to the Amazonian forest.
