“Beauty remains resolutely at the margins of the visible, in the moment before the epiphany. The anecdote is never shown”
Pascal Quignard.
In the form of a chat, we will discuss the possibilities that can expand an idea through different disciplines and mediums. The starting point will be the idea that governs the Auspicio Paisaje project (Auspice Landscape), which has been developed as a member of the National System of Art Creators, 2021-2024.
Auspicio Paisaje is part of a research initiative that explores the interrelational processes shaping natural landscapes, urban environments, and, more recently, the human body. By converging with contemporary technologies, the project creates mechano-visual devices that reveal images embedded within the landscape—images that remain imperceptible to the naked eye.
From the dissection of elements captured in motion within the landscape, a series of translation processes between physical forces and data materialized in fixed and/or moving visual devices are created.

Werner Moebius works between visual art and music in the expanded field of sonic art and aesthetic practice. He deals with the plasticity of sounds in acoustic, intermedial and performative contexts and facilitates dialogues in the field between new music, electroacoustic improvisation, conceptual art, weird beats and artistic research. For his work he has been awarded, among others, the City of Vienna Prize and BMUKK scholarships for Chicago and Mexico City.
