Xena Haspyd

Artist that works with live-coded sound and visual research — sits at the threshold between what is and what is coming, examining how the future already inhabits and deforms the present.

About

Her practice is rooted in the intersection of algorithmic systems and gestural intuition. She creates live-coded electronic music in SuperCollider, where composition emerges through written code in real-time. This computational approach coexists with tactile, hand-driven processes — charcoal and pencil drawings, 3D sculptural work. Currently, she is developing engineering projects informed by her R&D experience in aerospace within the military sector, exploring how technical knowledge translates into artistic inquiry.
