WINNERS
Josephine Illingworth
Josephine Illingworth-Law (2001) is a 23-year-old artist from London, UK. Through sound, she investigates places where the human and non-human are entwined with unusual complexity, documenting what a refugee community, a mountain village, or her own family can sound like. With an ethnographic approach and a hunger for travel and exploration, she collects field recordings, photographs, poetry, and writings from these places, which in turn form her telling of the story she finds.
Wildforms
In the flurry of organic and synthetic sounds dwells Wildforms, the electronic music apparition of musician Dan Cippico. Murmurations of lush nature recordings fuse with organic percussion and electronic production to make up the signature Wildforms sound.
