Jasmine Guffond (Australian) is an electronic musician and sound artist working at the interface of social, political and technical infrastructures. Focused on electronic composition across music and art contexts, her practice spans live performance, recording, sound installation and custom made browser plug-in. Through the sonification of data she addresses the potential of sound to engage with contemporary political questions. Interested in providing an audible presence for phenomena that lies beyond human perception, via the sonification of facial recognition algorithms, global networks, or internet tracking cookies she questions what it means for our personal habits to be traceable, and for our identities, choices and personalities to be reduced to streams of data. Her music draws upon influences from experimental electronic, drone, techno and avant-garde. Working with abstract sound as much as traditional musical forms she translates data into deeply engaging compositions.
She has exhibited and performed live internationally, and recorded music for the Staubgold, Sonic Pieces and Karl Records labels. Jasmine also curates the Berlin based contemporary electronic music festival EAVESDROP and is currently in residence at Q-o2.
