The Core (Khrystyna Kirik × Mark Bain)

2025, live sound and vibration performance, subwoofer and ultra-subwoofer systems, architecture used as a resonant structure, seismic data from Ukraine (2022–2025) — recordings of missile strikes and explosions in Kharkiv and Kherson, the destruction of the Kakhovka dam, earthquakes, and continuous seismic activity — converted into audible sound and low-frequency vibration.

The performance translates seismic traces of war into a physically felt sonic experience, moving from audible sound toward bodily vibration.

State of Latitude (Khrystyna Kirik × u2203 studio (Myk Rudik, Alen Has) x Anna Kuzemko)

2024, four-part audiovisual installation built from field data, archival photographs, and ecological records; sound combining a traditional Ukrainian steppe song (Hilka collective, 1996) with electronic and environmental sounds. four natural territories in Ukraine affected by the full-scale invasion — Sviati Hory, Syvash, Velykyi Chapelskyi Pid, and Kamianska Sich — documented through ecological research and interviews with a biologist; each chapter addresses a specific landscape, its ecosystems, and the damage caused by military activity.

A four-part audiovisual installation that documents specific Ukrainian natural territories transformed by war — treating them not as symbols, but as concrete places with their own ecological processes and limits of survival.

Cube (Khrystyna Kirik × Nick Acorn)

2023, interactive sensor-based sound installation and performance platform; permeable architectural structure with embedded proximity and motion sensors; four-channel spatial sound system with probabilistic real-time mappings, visitors' bodies, gestures and movement as the generative material — translated into an evolving spatial soundscape where textures, grains, and trajectories shift with each interaction.

A permeable, sensor-driven architectural structure that turns collective bodily presence and movement into a shared spatial sound instrument, where agency is distributed between visitors, materials and the system itself.
