Sanki
Sanki is a London-based sound and interactive artist working across installation, digital media, generative composition, and live performance. Her practice brings together experimental sound, physical computing, self-built systems, and spatial technologies to explore the relationships between listening, embodiment, material behaviour, and perception.
Through the interaction of sound, mechanics, light, movement, and digital processes, she develops environments in which physical systems become compositional structures. Rather than treating technology simply as a tool, Sanki often builds works around unstable or responsive relationships between bodies, objects, and space, allowing sound to emerge through movement, feedback, disturbance, and environmental interaction.
Her installations weave sound, visual and spatial experience into immersive situations that invite audiences to explore the intersections of sensation and existence. Her work frequently investigates the boundaries between body, system, and perception, extending into moving-image works where sound intertwines with fragmented time, sensory ambiguity, and shifting states of attention.
In performance, Sanki works with custom-built instruments, loudspeakers, mechanical structures, live electronics, and interactive technologies. Her performances often move between violent intensity and meditative tension, using repetition, resonance, distortion, and subtle physical transformation to construct spaces in which extremity and beauty coexist.
Since establishing her professional artistic practice in 2024, Sanki has presented work across the UK and Europe through festivals, galleries, and artist-led organisations, including Whitechapel Gallery, Full of Noises, Ääniaalto X in Helsinki, Zemin Art Space in Berlin, Gallery 46, Iklectik, Corsica Studio, and ADAO in Barreiro.
