Victoria Keddie is a multidisciplinary artist delving into sound, video, installation, and performance.
She will spend april and may as artist in residency at Liebig12 working on the project Drift Choir _Human Connection in a Polyphony of Place a transmission-based system that explores human connection beyond conventional communication models in collaboration with artists, researchers & further locations / initiatives spread across the globe (details & schedule tba).
“Over 30 days, it connects locations in Athens, New York, Berlin, and Mexico City through a continuous exchange of sound and image, emphasizing the small-scale, reciprocal, and intimate over the distant, instantaneous, and consumable. The system does not exist to disseminate information on a large scale but instead fosters a closed-circuit ecology where listening, watching, and responding form the core of participation. From May 1–30, 2025, I will link four locations through a continuous exchange of sound and image.
The project evolves through participation. Artists, musicians, and writers from my creative community shape the system, which then branches out to include those within each localized community through live interventions, activating dialogues between locations….“
