Vicky Clarke is a sound and electronic media artist from Manchester, UK. Working with sound sculpture, DIY electronics and human-machine systems, she explores our relationship to technology through sonic materiality, live audiovisual and browser-based artwork.
Recent project “MATERIALITY” explored sound sculpture as a gestural and acoustic medium to interface the physical and digital, working with industrial musique concrete. Collaborating with researchers at the National Graphene Institute, she developed a conductive graphene performance interface for Ableton Live, featured on Sound and Music’s Composer-Curator series and Music Tech Fest in Stockholm.
Her work has also featured on “SONIC FUTURES: How technology is guiding electronic music” and “Artist DIY” for FACT magazine’s documentary series in 2020. This year, she was a selected artist for British Council’s “UK-Russia Year of Music” researching machine learning and music for her new project SleepStates. She has performed at CTM Festival, Berlin, MUTEK, Barcelona, and as co-director of Noise Orchestra a DIY electronics project building Noise Machines that translate light into sound, she has been artist in residence at the National Media Museum, Steim and Q02 exploring DIY music technologies and the cultures that exist around them. Vicky is currently working towards her first release.
