SANJA STAR (b. 1982, Croatia) is a Berlin-based artist and educator working across image, sound, material, and temporal systems. Her practice investigates mediation as the condition through which perception, meaning, and relation emerge.
Her work develops experiential environments in which perception unfolds through interaction, duration, and relational processes. These environments operate as interconnected fields where audiovisual, spatial, and material conditions shape the emergence of meaning over time.
Her practice encompasses installations, live configurations, and research-based collaborations. Across these formats, interaction functions as a principle through which feedback, repetition, and temporal variation produce evolving perceptual and communicative situations.
Recent projects engage textile processes, conductive materials, and embodied gesture as elements within responsive systems. Physical actions and environmental conditions activate audiovisual formations that remain in continuous transformation through feedback and system behaviour.
Her work has been presented internationally through residencies including FUNKEN × MAIN Research Center (TU Chemnitz), Alte Münze Berlin, School of Machines, Making & Hackings Berlin, Fluxus Wiesbaden, Planet Ears Art Residency, and the Silk Road International Art Residency (Xi’an). She has exhibited at 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 works across educational, curatorial, and collaborative contexts in experimental art, experimental music, and design. Through these activities, she extends research into interaction, communication, and perception as dynamic processes shaped by mediation, materiality, and collective exchange.
