SANJA STAR (b. 1982, Croatia) is a Berlin-based visual artist working with time-based and real-time system-based works.
Her practice investigates how sound, light, textiles, and spatial structures operate as dynamic perceptual environments shaped by feedback, latency, and embodied interaction.

SANJA STAR (b. 1982, Croatia) is a Berlin-based visual artist and educator working with time-based practices, responsive materials, and real-time system-based works.
Her practice develops live audiovisual environments in which image, sound, light, and textile structures interact through feedback processes and generative systems. These works construct spatial configurations where perception unfolds through temporal modulation, latency, and structured interaction.
Recent projects investigate wearable textile systems, conductive materials, and electromagnetic contexts, translating embodied gesture and material processes into responsive frameworks. Within these systems, repetition, signal interaction, and structural dynamics shape emergent audiovisual behaviour.
Star’s work has been presented internationally through residencies including FUNKEN × MAIN Research Center (TU Chemnitz), Alte Münze Berlin, School of Machines Berlin, Fluxus Wiesbaden, Planet Ears Art Residency, and the Silk Road International Art Residency (Xi’an). She has presented her work at institutions and festivals including the Museum of Applied Arts Cologne, Universität der Künste Berlin’s Institut für zeitbasierte Medien, Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology, the Music Biennale Zagreb, and the International Symposium on Electronic/Emerging Art (ISEA 2026).
Alongside her artistic practice, she contributes to collaborative and educational initiatives in experimental visual and media arts, including as a core member of Pitch Shifting and through engagement in Berlin-based research contexts.
