Victoria Keddie is an artist who works with sound beyond structured language, exploring the instability of communication through error, interference, and the residual artifacts of transmission. Her work examines disruption, ambiguity, and noise as active sites of meaning-making, analyzing how language fractures and redefines itself through technological mediation and sonic fragmentation. For over a decade, Keddie served as Co-director of E.S.P. TV, exploring the televisual medium for performance.
She has performed live, with commissioned compositions, and exhibited internationally, including The Barbican, London; Fridman Gallery; Performa Arts; The Swiss Institute; Pioneer Works; The Kitchen; The Museum of Art and Design, New York; Museum Angewandte Kunst, Frankfurt; KØS Museum for Art in Public Spaces, Köge; Espace de l’art Concret, Paris; The Goethe Institute, Bogotá; Syros International Film Festival, Syros; Sight + Sound Festival, Montreal. Recent fellowships include, NYSCA/NYFA for Music/Sound (2022), the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (2023), and the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Sound Art, and Experimental Music Fellowship (2024). In 2025, she was a featured speaker and performer at the Salon Sophie Charlotte, Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, and served as Composer-in-Residence at the Elektronmusikstudion in Stockholm.
