Ivpiter Fvlgvr is a musical instrument that (instead of strings, tubes, or membranes) generates its sound through a radio astronomy antenna, capturing in real time the electromagnetic storms produced in the magnetosphere of Jupiter.
The device explores fields of intersection between music and astronomy, two disciplines whose relation dates back to the ancient Greek Quadrivium. However, present scientific and technological advances have allowed us to reflect on that confluence from new perspectives.
Uncovering inaudible elements of astronomy can make us question the visual establishment of this science, generating a counter-narrative that places hearing as a valid way of producing knowledge.
