Sound art morphs through Sarah-Indriyati Hardjowirogo’s cultural research and musicology, shaped by knowledge and power. In her installations with KollektivARK she examines how technologies of voice and listening can carry colonial residues or open space for new, decolonial resonances. These works have been heard in cities across Europe and beyond, unfolding as environments where sound becomes a site of reflection and renewal.

Hardjowirogo earned her PhD from Leuphana University Lüneburg. She co-edited Musical Instruments in the 21st Century and co-curated Good Vibrations at Berlin’s Museum of Musical Instruments in 2017. She has been a visiting scholar at the Institute for Culture and Aesthetics of Digital Media at Leuphana University Lüneburg and now leads the Media Music Practice division at the Institute of Music, University of Oldenburg. Since 2023, she has served as sub-project leader in DiDiPro (Digitality, Diversity, Producing), a collaborative research initiative supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
