MV Carbon (NY) is an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of sound, sculpture, and sonic instrument design. Her practice explores how sound, technology, and material / form shape spatial experience, and collective listening. Her process draws on speculative synthesis, analog technology, and real-time frequency manipulation. Through repetition, decay, and feedback, she investigates sound as a temporal and spatial phenomenon, revealing shifting relationships between presence, memory, and emergence.

Carbon creates playable sculptural systems using metal, wood, clay, found objects, and electronics. Integrating circuits, sensors, voice, and amplification, her works produce unexpected sonic logics through interaction and saturation, treating space as a responsive field shaped by sound, movement, and technological mediation. In performance, she often brings together electric cello, reel-to-reel tape machines, vintage microphones, and analog telephones. These configurations unfold, exploring how sound emerges through material exchange.

Carbon has been awarded residencies at Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Clocktower Gallery (NY), EMS Elektronmusikstudion (SE), Issue Project Room (NY), Koncertkirken (DK), Pioneer Works (NY), Q02 (BE)  Roulette (NY), and (NY) Zebulon (CA); has exhibited multimedia environments, and films, including solo exhibitions at Tomato Mouse Gallery (NYC), IDIO Gallery (NYC), and Heliopolis (NYC), amongst a variety of group exhibitions and screenings including Cafe Otto (UK), D’Amelio Gallery (NY), Essex Flowers (NY), Knockdown Center (NY), Fridman Gallery (NY), Louis V.E.S.P.
