About the Speaker

Iva Polanecká is a Czech artist and curator working across sound, audiovisual art, and new media. Her artistic practice is rooted in deep listening, field recording, and acoustic ecology, exploring sound as a way of sensing and understanding places, environments, and their transformations. Alongside her artistic practice, she is a curator at Kunsthalle Praha, where she focuses on audiovisual and new media art and on projects at the intersection of art, technology, sound, and contemporary culture. Her work moves between curatorial research and artistic practice, with a particular interest in listening as a form of attention and a way of engaging with the world around us.
