About

MV Carbon (NY) is an interdisciplinary artist and educator. Her practice investigates how sound, technology, and material shape spatial experience and collective listening, with particular attention to vibration, frequency, and resonance as embodied forms of sonic experience. Her process draws on speculative sound, synthesis, analog technologies, and real-time frequency manipulation to investigate sound as a temporal and spatial phenomenon. Grounded in empirical data and material conditions, her work uses speculation as a method for extending and interrogating the relationships between presence, memory, and emergence.

Carbon creates music, interactive systems, media art, and paintings, often integrating circuits and amplification. Her work produces sonic and visual logics through interaction, saturation, and exploration of space as a responsive field shaped by sound, gesture, and technological mediation. Carbon often performs with hand made instruments, electric cello, reel-to-reel tape machines, voice, synthesizers, and video projection. These configurations unfold, exploring how the sonic and visual emerge and transform through material exchange.
