Sanja Star develops interaction-based audiovisual systems in which sound, visual, material, and computational processes form communicative environments. Her work investigates how meaning emerges through continuously evolving relations between these elements.

Each work functions as a structured interaction system. Sound, image, and time operate as interconnected components within evolving frameworks shaped by feedback, temporal processes, and continuous modulation.

Her practice is based on the construction of interaction systems as communicative structures. Within these systems, sound, visual, material, and computational processes are arranged as relational conditions that generate meaning through process-based interaction.

Methodologically, each work is developed through iterative system construction. Relationships between elements define how audiovisual and temporal structures respond, shift, and evolve over time.

Improvisation functions as a method within these frameworks, introducing variation and deviation while maintaining the structural logic of the system.

Installations / Collaborative Live Works

Her works take form as installations, spatial systems, and collaborative live configurations developed with sound artists and musicians. These environments operate as dynamicinteraction systems in which sound, visual, and spatial elements continuously respond to one another through feedback processes.

In installation settings, interaction structures respond to live input and situational conditions, producing shifting relationships between sound, image, presence, and space. Some works extend into embodied configurations, integrating performance or wearable elements that position the body as an active component within the system.
