PLATFORM: Victoria Keddie
Sounding Impossibility, Re-imagining Radical Futures
How can sound realize the impossible pertaining to spaces that imagine a radical future or a significant shift in our collective place of being?
Internationally recognized sound/media artist Victoria Keddie will survey a few past works and speak about current work and research in sounding both utopian and impossible architecture. Keddie’s research and practice focus on speculative architecture that challenges not only the laws of physics but how we as a society move, interact and understand our spatial and sonic worlds. With this practice-based research project, she is investigating how sound moves in impossible spaces, in order to understand how sound plays a significant role in understanding the places we inhabit, the structures we reside in, and specifically the speculative utopian environments designed for human interaction.
Victoria Keddie is an artist working forensically with techno-artifacts of our collective media ecology. Recent projects include customized software to visualize and sound space debris, sounding entropic architecture, and modeling a TV studio within a vacant flagship retail store for a series of live transmissions. Keddie is the Co-Director of E.S.P. TV, a nomadic TV studio and cable access series, that realizes synthetic environments and deconstructs the televisual for live performance. Her most recent project will be as the 2023 INHABIT Artist-in-residence at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, DE working to sound impossible architecture.
