Victoria Pham

Victoria Pham is an Australian installation sound-artist, composer, and evolutionary biologist. She currently is a PhD Candidate in Biological Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. As a composer, she is represented by the Australian Music Centre as an Associate Artist.

Pham has been commissioned by a number of institutions such as TATE Britain, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and the Sydney Opera House, amongst others. She has featured in several festivals from VIVID to ANTIDOTE to BLEED. Pham is currently the Artistic Director of FABLE ARTS and is the host for the podcast, DECLASSIFY.

As a scientist, Pham’s specialisation is in archaeo-acoustic technology, bioacoustics, and the evolution of sound signalling and music. Her artistic and musical work is driven by explorations into the sonic connections between second-hand memory, examining modes of decolonisation, communal story-telling, intertwining electronic sound with acoustic instrumentation, and ecological expressions of construction.
