Rodrigo Romero-Flores is a sound composer, digital artist, and poet. He holds a BA in Hispanic Language and Literature from Universidad de Chile and completed a specialization in Field Recording and Soundscape Composition at Goldsmiths, University of London. He is currently an MA candidate in Sound and Music at Queen's University Belfast.
His creative process draws on field recordings, archive sources, electroacoustic instruments and immersive audio. In collaborative projects, this extends into critical improvisation, valuing real time co-creation and horizontal dialogue. His visual practice takes a critical approach to generative AI and the "digital edge," pushing algorithms to their points of signal collapse to expose the limits of digital representation.
His work also engages speculative sound fiction and acoustic ecology, grounded in an ethical response to ecological disaster and the social and affective fractures it leaves behind. His work invites listeners to reflect on our place in the world, where memories and environments converge, calling for reconnection and care.
Rodrigo's work has been recognized with three awards from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. He has been an associate artist at SARC (Sonic Arts Research Centre), Queen's University Belfast, and is currently artist in residence at the XR Lab, Digital Arts Studios (DAS), Belfast.
