Pablo Sanz is an artist, composer, and researcher. His work includes site-specific and public art projects, immersive spatial audio installations and performances, and compositions for headphone listening spread through exhibitions, broadcasts and releases. Focusing on the limits and thresholds of perception and attention, his practice is an openended investigation of listening, more-than-human vitality, aural energies and otherness. Through a continuum of approaches, his environmental sound works explore the vibrant entanglements and dddcreativity of human bodies, nonhuman creatures, energies, materials, spaces, and technologies, encouraging sensory ecological awareness. Listening becomes a political act, meant to resist dominant tendencies in contemporary societies and cultivate alternative forms of being and thinking.
His work has been experienced internationally in diverse contexts. He received a Phonurgia Nova Award for the work STRANGE STRANGERS, commissioned by the Czech Radio and published on Vertical Music.
