La serie, consistente de cinco capítulos, es disponible en este enlace. Invita a un recorrido por prácticas innovadoras y experimentales que amplian aún más el horizonte de las metodologias cualitativas. Cada una de las cápsulas recorre un campo distinto: la llamada investigación artística, la exploracion sensorial y particularmente la sonora, el mapeo como metodología creativa asi como lo forense entendido como potencia investigativa y narrativa. Para ello, se han invitado a compartir ideas e experiencias a renombrados investigadorxs creadorxs de diversas ámbitos y procedencias. La serie, que fue concebida y realizada por Anne Huffschmid (en colaboración con Jan-Holger Hennies), se publicó en el portal de trAndeS del LAI, en junio del 2022.

Synopsis
Spaces of terror, produced by massacre or disappearance, do not belong to far away galaxies or to some kind of no one’s land, rather they are inserted into our everyday geographies. We coexist with them, often they go unseen or unperceived. They have a voice and things to tell, so let’s start listening. Sensitive Data leads you to recognize and interrogate these landscapes within the Mexican geography, to immerse yourself in their textures, their patterns, the voices that inhabit them. And there is another code that speaks to us, disturbingly.
