I’m a researcher, sonic artist and theorist working with the trans literary notion of sound in language. I am doing practice led research as a PhD at QUT in Australia. I am also the founder of GIRRL [girrlsound : digital girrl]. GIRRL is a new international organization that promotes and support women working in sonic and digital arts. http://girrl-girrlsound-digitalgirrl.org

Creatively and theoretically I work across sound/text, the gallery and the web. I’m interested in the excess of language and literatures and slippages between genres. I make digital operas or operations compressing different fields together much like the notion of gesamtwert or aggregate value, in that I stage animated digital dummies like ventriloquist dummies, performing scores of sound.

I’m interested in ‘working’ with sound philosophically within cyberspace and its portal the web, to expand the varieties of literacy in new media. This in line with the work by Gregg Ulmer on electracy, i.e. grammars for the digital… a term used to focus attention on ways to invent emergent forms of knowledge, that are methodologically.
