Last day to see the Class of 2025 First Year MFA Exhibition at the , featuring (alongside ) first year sound art students:
MILES SCHARFF
the taking apart, the sawing in half (2024)
Acrylic, steel, copper wire, handmade circuits, microwave transformers
“Miles is a sound artist and musician who’s work lies in improvisation, spatial audio, and sound sculpture. His work seeks to create viscerality from ephemerality through presenting and exaggerating interactions between sound and material, treating sound as a physical object. This is ultimately an investigation of the properties of sound signals, both audible, non-audible, and of the inner ear, and how those properties can define listening, presence, and the invasion of privacy.”
YUEYANG LUO
Untangling Entanglement (2024)
Participating workshop and documentation display
“Yueyang Luo is an artist, a student, a potential migrant, and a Chinese female. Currently studying at Columbia Sound Art MFA program, her work is situated in event, action and built environments, which its output resembles the form of (interactive) installation incorporating sound, moving image, and object of interest.Her recent project “Untangling Entanglement” is a excavation of potentiality of
cables, focusing on the object as media, and the gesture of un-tanglement.“
ANDREA MORENO
Oraculum (2024)
Metal, wood, plaster, clay, transducers, speakers, air pump
“I expand upon worldbuilding and atypical realities aligning with my interests in mysticism, and how these practices are typically rendered as spiritual phenomena and are not physically embodied. I create a space where encounters occur between the human and preconceived non-human.
Currently, I depict encounters with anthropomorphic forms and investigate the sociocultural phenomena in how humans interact, examine, and identify species homogeneity, with human-made ‘other’.”
