"Quiasma:Landscape" is a complex project that combines research, travel and documentary, narrative and digital audio and video recording; including, as one of its significant final results, two interactive interfaces. “Quiasma” explores the mediated treatment in a strained territory, through different rites of celebration. In its first stage, it gathers a rich and lengthy material in video, images and sound, collected all over the territory of Colombia, in several pagan and religious festivities that occur in different days along the year.

“Quiasma:Oracle” and “Landscape” are two articulated interfaces that aim to generate a mediatic treatment detached from the conventional linearization manipulated by mass communication media. In Colombia, the idea most people have of the rest of the country is mediated by television and radio networks that belong to the dominant economic groups. In the other hand, the physical course, the journey, is difficult and even dangerous, due to the constantly tight situation.
