About QOSQO LLIKA:

QOSQO LLIKA in Quechua, or Cusco Web in English, is a new media documentary that invites you to travel back in time to experience the remarkable cultural life of Cusco in the 1930s.

QOSQO LLIKA is not a traditional documentary seen on a film or television screen. Instead, this new media distributed documentary uses mobile interactive technologies, including cellphones, text messages, mobile projections and public installations to recreate the cultural history of Cusco in the 1930s.

The 1930s was a period of cultural innovation in Cusco, including photography, music, dance, theatre, painting, philosophy, political action and cultural theory, that made Cusco a world cultural capital, a history now largely forgotten.

The live installation of QOSQO LLIKA took place in Cusco between April 6 and 10, 2010. Residents and visitors in Cusco experienced QOSQO LLIKA through various mobile technologies as they walked through Cusco's streets, interacting with the architecture and daily life of contemporary Cusco, at the same time as they listened to and looked at documentary recreations of Cusco's cultural life from the 1930s.

Together, all of the documentary recreations formed themes, historical characters and a narrative as participants travelled through the city, listening to histories of the streets and to music, viewing artists' photographs, reading maps and newspaper articles, all recreations from the 1930s.

The web version of QOSQO LLIKA is based on the live installation, making the experience available to users around the world. This website can be used by people in Cusco to recreate the mobile locative experience of QOSQO LLIKA themselves or it can be used by anyone, anywhere, anytime, to create a version of the experience in their own space. Regardless of your location, Cusco or elsewhere, you can download materials to your computer screen, your mobile phone, and recreate the QOSQO LLIKA mobile media documentary for yourself. And if you have never been to the remarkable city of Cusco, perhaps this project will inspire you to visit.

QOSQO LLIKA provokes a dialogue between the past and the present. QOSQO LLIKA is available in English, Spanish and Quechua and is free.
