In this piece, Maricarmen Graue, a blind cellist and writer, appropriates Augmented Reality technology to materialize her "inner eye." The performance functions as a reverse translation: the audience describes a portrait verbally, and Maricarmen translates these cues into spatial strokes in real-time.

By drawing in the air without visual feedback, she exposes the mechanism of her own visual imagination. The result allows the sighted audience to glimpse how a non-visual perception reconstructs the world, creating a bridge between the image spoken and the image felt.

A research workshop developed for the Deaf community in Tlaxcala. Rather than a traditional performance, this initiative created a somatic listening environment where participants experienced musical waves through tactile vibration.

Simultaneously, a Mexican Sign Language (LSM) interpreter performed a text related to the music. Using VR/AR headsets, participants drew in the 3D space, translating the physical sensation of the sound waves and the linguistic meaning of the signs into graphic strokes. The project questions the auditory exclusivity of music, proposing a multisensory experience rooted in vibration and visual language.

Zoonoros is committed to a diverse audience that includes people with disabilities. Recognizing that the spoken word is as crucial as the music in our performances, the project integrates Mexican Sign Language (LSM) interpretation as a permanent, aesthetic component—not an afterthought.

This ensures that the deaf and hard-of-hearing community can access the narrative layers of the work, engaging with the humor, melancholy, and critique embedded in the text on equal footing with the hearing audience.

The sonic architecture of Zoonoros is constructed in real-time using SuperCollider. Blending pre-recorded samples with live synthesis, Herrera develops custom algorithms that react dynamically to the improvisation of the text, the cello, the guitar, and the ensemble's unconventional instruments.

This live coding approach allows for a granular manipulation of audio, where code becomes a performative instrument capable of translating the micro-gestures of the ensemble into complex auditory textures.
