Lecture Performance: Sound Artist Victoria Keddie

With Victoria Keddie, the Department of Digital Arts welcomes an artist who engages with speculative, experimental phonetics and media history, and whose work often operates outside established linguistic structures. 
Keddie investigates how meaning emerges through resonance, gestural forms of expression and spatial presence. Moving beyond the mere intersections of sound, video and performance, she explores neural learning systems with a focus on questions of adaptability and shifts in perception within spoken language. A recurring theme in Keddie's work is examining acoustic phenomena. Her current projects deal with the acoustic complexity of language and dialects.
 
This lecture performance is open to the public.

For over a decade, Victoria Keddie was co-director of e.s.p. tv, exploring the televisual medium for performance and sound. As a curator and teacher, she organises exhibitions and projects at various institutions, including MoMA PS1, Storefront for Art and Architecture and Pioneer Works. Keddie´s work is recognised internationally. Her most recent grants and research residencies include the NYSCA/NYFA Fellowship for Music/Sound (2022), a residency at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (2023), and the Fellowship at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in the field of sound art and experimental music (2024).
