Mariam is an Iranian American sound artist, music researcher, and composer currently based in London. She has a background in classical piano performance, electroacoustic music composition, sonic arts, and music psychology. Her work examines the musical and philosophical approaches to sustained notes, the drone. Investigating established tuning systems, ontologies of listening, and theoretical understandings of the 'inaudible', she aims to unravel the mysticisms of sonic resonances in relation to the musical drone. Her process involves reflecting on the many forms of sensory engagement with sonic bodies, states of attunement, and embodied music experiences. Working with sound and mixed media, her installations and multichannel compositions seek to immerse the public into a state of active acousmatic listening. The use of interactive and spatialized processes invite listeners to shift their understanding of noise, silence and stillness.
Mariam holds a BMus in Music Technology from New York University (2017), MA in Contemporary Art Practice from the Royal College of Art (2020), and MSc in Performance Science from the Royal College of Music (2021). Her most recent installation work will be featured as part of the RCA School of Humanities physical degree show in June 2022 at the Bargehouse in the Oxo Tower Wharf and her EP ‘Great Disquiet’ will be released with Continuous Tone this summer of 2022.

Artist
Carla Theurer
Carla Theurer (b. 1991) is a German and Swiss designer and visual artist based in London. Her practice takes various forms, including print media to single and multi-channel video works, immersive digital experiences and interactive installations.
Carla’s practice delve into contemporary culture, including social change in modernity and the evolving nature of the image. In her recent projects, she has been questioning the perception of the everyday by exploring the screen as an idea and an experience. In her works, she isolates objects, experiences, and events to reexamine their relationship with one other and their environment. Her visuals capture everyday life’s impressions by depicting ordinary, mundane subjects playing with time and scale, movement, and the image’s materiality. She combines elements of contemplation with poetic and playfulness, pulsating between figurative concretion and aesthetic abstraction to address the indistinct edges of the digital and physical.
Carla holds a BA in Visual Communication from the University of Technology, Business and Design in Konstanz, Germany (2016), and a MA in Information Experience Design from the Royal College of Art in London (2021). Recent exhibitions include Menier Gallery (London), The Horse Hospital (London) and Crypt Gallery (London).

Artist
Polina Filippova
Polina Filippova is an artist and creative director who makes projects within the domains of contemporary art, interactive design and performance.
Her practice is mainly introspective, with a particular focus on the relationships between body and space in its multiple forms (physical, digital, virtual). She is interested in the way we connect to each other and ourselves and in the role our physicality plays in it. Polina often works within a genre of self-portrait, that allows her to explore identity, and female identity in particular. Sometimes the pieces she makes are interactive. She uses technology in a subtle way, to allow a viewer to experience a magic of connection.
Polina holds an MA in Information Experience Design from the Royal College of Art (2021). Her work has been recently exhibited at the Cynthia Corbette’s Gallery (London), Menier Gallery (London), The Function Suite (London).
