Channeling Minerals brings together sonic mineral artist Leonel Vásquez, Yadira Sánchez Benitez, and Harshini J. Karunaratne in a conversation on minerals as energetic, cultural, and more-than-human presences. Moving beyond minerals as inert resources, this conversational panel attends to their vibrational qualities, spiritual lineages, and the ways they are sensed, activated, and mediated through sound, technology, and algo•rhythms.

Drawing from sonic experimentation, time-honored knowledges, and cosmo•technic research, the discussion explores how mineral energies are extracted, displaced, and re-channeled - appearing as frequencies, infra·structures, and digital systems. Channeling Minerals considers listening as a method, sound as a conduit, and technology as a site where geological time, spiritual resonance, and contemporary computation intersect. The conversation invites reflection on how minerals might be approached not only as matter to be mined, but as relations to be listened to, respected, and re-attuned.
