SIGNALS AND STRUCTURES
Language, Sound, and the Broadcast Space
Artist Talk with Victoria Keddie
Victoria Keddie is a multidisciplinary artist delving into sound, video, installation, and performance. Her work uncovers hidden narratives within ordinary artifacts and spaces, emphasizing their role in shaping our collective story. Keddie’s projects are characterized by the linking of disclosure and decoding of technological infrastructures (e.g. radio and television transmissions) with storytelling in order to enable different narratives of media, their apparatuses and conditions that expand a unified history of technology. The examination of acoustic phenomena and language is a recurring theme in her artistic work. Keddie’s current projects navigate the acoustic complexity of language and dialects.
The talk is going to focus on Keddie's work as a co-director of E.S.P. TV, a durational live broadcast project exploring the televisual medium for performance, video, and sound. Since 2010, E.S.P. TV has held over 100 live television taping events internationally and was broadcast and streamed weekly in several cities across the USA. In Fall 2014, E.S.P. TV built a mobile electronic studio out of a defunct television news van and in April 2015, toured it across the United States in partnership with local artists and arts organizations.
