Niloofar Asghary is an Iranian, Paris-based audiovisual artist and archivist. In her sound practice, she investigates the sonic potential of the no-input mixing board, using the feedback generated by the mixing console itself as her primary material. Through the careful equalization and modulation of frequencies, she shapes harmonics, rhythmic patterns, sustained tones, and multilayered textures. Her work explores the relationship between control and contingency in electronic systems, examining how complex sonic structures emerge from unstable and self-generating processes.
