MV Carbon (NY, USA) is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the transformative relationship between sound, space, and place. Her practice investigates how sound and technology can be used to reveal information, shape spatial perception, and generate new aesthetic relationships to space and time. Speculative sound synthesis shapes her process and musical output. Decay and repetition expose the underlying architecture of sound, where the present melds with the future and spatial resonance emerges.

Sculptural objects function as musical instruments, amplifying the ritual, rhythm and momentum embedded in music. Carbon taps into the mystery of the human mechanism, exploring themes such as interchangeability, regeneration, and the transmogrification of mind and matter.

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.

Carbon uses voice, cello, gongs, telephones, radios, vintage microphones, and magnetic tape to reveal and shape the immediate environment. Addressing psychological feedback through poetry, music, and performance, she treats space as an active, responsive organism, emphasizing interaction and emergence. Handmade circuits and sculptural objects are melded with voice, resonant space, and synthesis, allowing unexpected musical logics to form through sonic saturation. Carbon fuses sonic space onto magnetic tape manipulating frequency in real time.
