About
Julia Cremers’ (she/they) artistic practice explores new forms of embodiment, intimacy and ways of sensing in our increasingly digitized reality.
With the help of spatial storytelling methods, Julia addresses human-instrument hybridization. Their interest in the merging of “body” and “instrument” stems from concerns regarding digital surveillance, as well as their own reliance on technologies such as their inner-ear prosthesis for hearing.
In 2021 and 2022 Julia was active in the sound art space Errant Sound. Julia currently co-organises the art/science collective PARALLAX Lab and is active for the Hebbel am Ufer Theater in Berlin.
