Sally Golding and Matt Spendlove

Sally Golding (UK/AU)
Sally Golding is an British-Australian interdisciplinary artist-researcher and curator whose practice spans participatory installations, immersive performance, situational sound, and creative–critical writing.

Golding explores how technologies shape perception, using sound, light and spatial design to create multisensory experiences that engage audiences as active participants. With a foundation in expanded cinema and experimental music, her work draws on diverse media art histories alongside systems of logic and folklore — intersecting themes of sensation, presence and agency. Reimagining elemental media materials — light, signal, amplification — her installations and performances respond to the social architecture of galleries, cinemas and public spaces. These works frequently reference transmission systems, and decision-making technologies, inviting viewers into layered, sensorial environments.

Golding is an inaugural recipient of the Oram Award (New BBC Radiophonic Workshop/PRS Foundation) and a SHAPE+ Platform artist for innovative sound and audiovisual practices in Europe. Her work has been profiled in publications by Oxford University Press, Palgrave McMillan, Tate Modern, Bloomsbury, Millennium Film Journal, Senses of Cinema and The Wire. Presentations include Tate Modern (UK), Museum of the Moving Image (US), Serralves Museum (PT), Digital Culture Centre (MX), Phoenix Central Park (AU), CA2M Madrid (ES), Institute of Modern Art (AU), Australian Centre for the Moving Image (AU), Metro Arts (AU) and San Francisco Cinematheque (US). She is co-founder of expanded arts platforms OtherFilm (AU) and Unconscious Archives (UK), and author of Parsing Digital: Conversations in Digital Art by Practitioners and Curators (Austrian Cultural Forum London).

Matt Spendlove (UK)
Matt Spendlove is an artist from London who creates immersive installations, audiovisual performances and sonic artefacts. Across these situations he explores spatial ambiguity, structural form, waveform materiality and the illusory contours of psychophysics.

His work channels the dynamics of sound system culture by incorporating low frequency vibration alongside hacked code and optisonic experiments. He combines a preoccupation with emergent behaviour, rule based repetition and chaotic systems to generate enlivened visual stimuli and shape dubbed out, cracked and reductive sonics into audible geometric form. Through textured intricate production, his shows bring corporeal presence carved out with a minimalist’s scalpel.

He co-founded Deep Assignments: a space for creative discussion, collective support, and critical exchange, fostering a shared practice of interdisciplinary listening, thinking, and making through performances, screenings, happenings, talks, workshops, and salons.

International commissions, recordings and performances have included Mutek, Montreal; High Zero, Baltimore; Unsound Festival, NYC/Krakow; Club Transmediale, Berlin; Filmwinter, Stuttgart; Algorithmic Art Assembly; San Francisco; E-FEST, Tunisia; MoTA Gallery, Ljubljana; Cafe OTO, London; Melbourne International Film Festival; Metro Arts, Brisbane; and Serralves Museum, Porto.
