Patricia Cadavid & Paola Torres Nuñez del Prado: “Khipumancy”
by Patricia Cadavid (CO) & Paola Torres Nuñez del Prado (PE)
We are the Technokhipumancers, also called Khipunks or Neokhipumancers, part of the extended movement of the now called Neokhipukamayoqs; whose name refers to the ancient Andean experts of the Inca period, the Khipucamayoqs, the specialists who once could decipher and code the content of data with knots, within the rope-based devices known as Khipus, memory-storing instruments that today played with our hands, they sound alive, reading and re-coding with the sounds of the knots a future that reclaims the past and the memory.
