Darsha Hewitt (CA/DE) is an interdisciplinary sound artist whose work critically investigates the materiality of the machines and practices of technology that consumer society throws away.
With a media archeological approach, she deconstructs generations of obsolete technology to trace out systems of power, economy and control inherent throughout technological infrastructures. The effect simultaneously demystifies the confounding inner systems at play within our technology while transforming it into unexpected sonic experiences that raise question about our technological entanglements and its implications on humans and ecology. Her current work looks into the ecological dimensions of music and sound reproduction technology.
