Disco solar is a yellow disc launched from the South in 2025 as a counter-narrative to Sounds of the Earth, the golden record sent into space on the Voyager probes in 1977. In this new version, the disc carries liquid sounds that connect the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, compiled in the previously unreleased work of Catalina Cósmica, Silvino MiSur, Elegguá Luna Laverde Mojana, Carolina Oliveros, and Niño Lento es Fuego. It launches into the cosmic ocean using sonic coordinates to chart stars that conceptually intersect with the sea. The record builds upon the ideas developed in Poemas solares, a publication by Cosmos Ediciones emerging from the 2025 Itinerant School of the Arts in Barranquilla.
Both productions unfold over the mural Todo lo que escuchamos trae visiones del futuro, created at Beta–Local. The mural extends the reading of the inner booklet of Disco solar and Poemas solares. The publication’s sheets contain drawings, texts, and narratives on the production process of this solar disc.

Ser del Cosmos
Artist, sociologist, and psychologist 1994, Colombia; based in Cali
Ser del Cosmos works with text as a point of departure to shape visual forms that engage with narratives of identity and with the ways she records and transforms the everyday into potential. Her practice spans collage, installation, video, mural, poster, and screen printing.
She understands editorial leisure as a curatorial mode of thinking and, in recent years, has been involved in independent publishing and editorial projects. From 2021 to 2025, she ran Casa Futura, an independent press that collaborates with artists and writers across Latin America. She is currently editor and design director at Cosmos Ediciones. Alongside this, she researches sound and music through an independent archive dedicated to Black music, exploring how sound, identity, and Blackness intersect. She treats music as a document through which shared narratives of the diaspora can be understood. A collector of vinyl records — particularly Black music — she creates sound interventions in public spaces as acts that reclaim pleasure and listening.
