"Helena Hamilton’s practice is pioneering work by a female artist who enriches the sonic with conceptual materialism through digital means. Her sonic explorations and multidimensional formalism open up new ways of experiencing art as a lived event, with sculpture, photography, works on paper, site-specific action and live sound.
