Hanne Lippard

Hanne Lipard carves immersive vocal-led audio environments exposing how digital capitalism and social media are systematically reprogramming our connection to language. Her calculated use of breath and silence highlights the administrative absurdities and exhaustions of contemporary life. Corporate jargon and self-optimization ads are materials to be manipulated through heavy repetition; physical spaces are commanded through auditory presence; speech is intoned for claustrophobic purposes. The language she draws from everyday communication arrives standardized and optimized, packaged carrying the rhythms of advertising. Lippard isolates these familiar formulas until their meaning begins to buckle, revealing the strange mechanics hidden inside everyday speech.
