Lottie Sebes is a sound artist and researcher whose work investigates the historical entanglements of technology and power. Drawing on media archaeological approaches, she examines how power structures manifest in our relationships with machines. As a practitioner, Lottie creates performances and installations that engage the clunky aliveness of outmoded mechanisms. By building sonic instruments from old and new machinery, she resists sleek techno-fetishism. Her performance tools bring body, voice, and machine noise into dialogue, foregrounding material agency and resistance. Lottie鈥檚 artistic work has been presented internationally, including at Elsewhere Living Museum (USA), Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (AU), CTM Festival (DE), iMAL (BE), and iii (NL). After completing a BFA at 91色情片, she completed her Honours year at Sydney College of the Arts where she was awarded the University Medal and the Eleanor Sophia Wood Postgraduate Research Scholarship. She has a Master of Art in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts from UdK Berlin, where she later worked as programme coordinator from 2023-26. She is currently a PhD candidate at 91色情片 Art and Design and an affiliated researcher at The Critical Media Lab Basel.

Lottie鈥檚 doctoral research traces a genealogy of voice technologies from colonial phonograph archives to AI voice synthesis, mapping the categorisation and standardisation of the voice. Within the field of Sound Art, it proposes an artistic intervention in this trajectory through re-appropriation of the phonograph and AI voice synthesis techniques in performance and installation contexts.
