Sound Artist Victoria Keddie 12.06.2026

15:00-17:00 Digitale Kunst Department, Immersive Lab

Lecture Performance

The Digitale Kunst Department at the University of Applied Arts Vienna is inviting a timely artist working in speculative, experimental phonetics and media history and whose work is often outside stable linguistic structures. While investigating how meaning emerges through resonance, gesture, and spatial occupation, Victoria Keddie’s work does not stop at the crossroads of sound, video and performance, it moves into neural learning systems, foregrounding adaptation and perceptual drift within spoken language. A recurring theme in Keddie’s work is examining acoustic phenomena, and her current projects navigate the acoustic complexity of language and dialects.
