// FON_OS is a collaborative audiovisual performance and research project by musician and composer Fon Román and visual designer and researcher Oswaldo García (Universidade de Vigo). Together they explore how heritage spaces can be reimagined as living instruments through the fusion of real-time sound improvisation and architectural digital twins. At the core of the project lies a shared question: how can contemporary creative practices reactivate heritage spaces, allowing us to experience them not as silent monuments but as resonant organisms?

We're seated either on the grass on portable pads with backs or in folding chairs on an elevated platform.
