Victoria Evans

 

Victoria Evans is based in the Design Department at Edinburgh College of Art.

Victoria  is a contemporary artist with a background in the film and television industries. She graduated with a Masters Degree in Fine Art Practice (Sculpture) from Glasgow School of Art in 2015 and is currently conducting SGSAH/AHRC funded, practice-based PhD research at Edinburgh College of Art. Victoria’s artwork has been exhibited widely in Scotland and further afield; her writing has been published in a peer reviewed journal and several online platforms; she has been awarded grants and residencies from: Hospitalfield, Arbroath; SNEHTA, Athens; Glasgow Life; Design Informatics, Edinburgh; and Creative Informatics, Edinburgh,  and the Xunta da Galicia, Santiago de Compostela. She has had work broadcast on Radiophrenia and BBC Four and research into data sonification led to the development of an app, Tidesong, designed to be experienced at the beach. Victoria recently attended a three month SGSAH funded artist residency at a marine research centre in Madeira, Portugal.

Victoria’s Practice-based PhD research employs interdisciplinary methods and a sonic sensibility to sound out unseen vibratory ecologies of interconnection. The research explores shifts in perceptual emphasis that might generate different ways of knowing--and living--with and in the world. Her body of research includes speculations in the form of fiction, artist’s moving image, sound art and digital and sculptural installation. These diverse experiments resonate with critical posthumanist approaches to multi-perspectival knowledge-making through the linking question: ‘What more-than-human worlds are made possible when we attune ourselves to the power of sound?’.
