Alida Sun: Biophony
Mar 8, 2025 - Sep 7, 2025
Biophony is a hand-coded generative synesthesia environment created by Berlin-based artist Alida Sun. Grown from an ongoing algorithmic practice of code as embodied ritual and resistance, the audiovisuals evoke local and extinct soundscape ecologies.

Organized by Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and curated by Julie Ganas, curator of engagement and digital initiatives.
