Lena C.
Lena C. is a Taiwanese sound artist based in Enschede, the Netherlands. Her practice centres on sound as a relational and affective medium, working across live performance, composition, and installation. Working with modular synthesizers, field recordings, electroacoustic sound, and multichannel diffusion, she creates sound from delicate textures to raw and intensely dynamic. She explores how sonic practices can reflect on relationships between human, non-human entities and the environment, from daily encounters to broader geological phenomena, such as co-living in urban backyards as shared territories, to seismic activity that cuts across daily life. Her work often extends into collaborative and interdisciplinary formats, where sound interacts with movement and spaces.
Recent projects include How to live with the edge of falling(ongoing), a sound-based artistic research that explores how the precarity of natural disasters can be embodied through sound; We Can’t Help But Be Conductive(ongoing), a collaboration explores how bodies, machines, and signals influence and transform one another; Currents & Crossings (2025), an audio-visual work and a live performance inspired by the trace of water and the artist as the traveler; Resident Encounters (ongoing), explores the interactions and territorial negotiations between (non-)human residents in an urban living space; and Morphing Landscapes (2024), a multimedia improvisational performance that translates seismic data into disturbances across sound, dance, and visual.
