Stones are angels: Catábasis

AV performance

STWST48x8,  Ars Electronica Festival 2022

Catábasis is a descent to a mythical world, where information wanders freely, while bodies are being processed, sluiced, dried out, classified, extracted, and commodified.

Catábasis is an imaginary sonic/chthonic, tex/ctonic, vis/rtual journey to the bubbling center of the earth but also a submersion to the inner worlds of one’s own.


Concept, sound: Daphne Xanthopoulou
Live visuals: Diana Bohutska
Sculptures: Sheida Ramhormozi

Sonic Utopias

Interactive Sound Installation

Ars Electronica Festival 2021 

*Sonic Utopias* is a sonic fiction series of utopian narratives and tales of subversion from a (not so) distant earth.

L' Estrella 

Interactive Performance

Golfo Mag Launch Party, La Cera 13, Barcelona, 2020


The audience poses a question, and the water gives the answer. As the flow of the liquid is initiated, the electrical circuit between two vessels of water equipped with a capitative sensor is closed and words are randomly triggered from an audio corpus of prerecorded samples. The performance is over when all the words are uttered.
