OR poiesis (a.k.a. Petra Kapš) (SI) is an artist, composer, and researcher specializing in the fields of bio- and geo-acoustics, hydroacoustics, sound art, auditory perception, interactive sound performance in concrete and acoustic spaces, digitally augmented reality, web transmission, and art radio. Her creative work traverses sound art, radio, space-time poetry, performance, and photography. She employs her primary medium, words, to expand into the sonorous realms of space-time poetry. Petra Kapš engages in a performative practice of field recording, exploring and enacting possibilities within the author's radio space, and delving into the aurality of spatialized memory and temporal wells. Amidst the digital dimensions, she places significant importance on the physical presence of the body. In recent years, she has made noteworthy contributions to the evolution of interactive, sonic, and performative art practices. Her experimentation and advancement of location-based media, in relation to auditory sensory experiences, as well as the development of topographic sound archives, subtle interventions in public spaces, and the exploration of memory through sound and perception, highlight the dynamic interplay between antiquity and the contemporary. Petra Kapš works in Slovenia and abroad. She is a founding member of CENSE (Central European Network for Sonic Ecologies) and a member of Jata C and radio.earth.
