Confessions I

If I fall, will you catch me?

Héloïse Garry is an artist working at the intersection of filmmaking, theater, and performance, exploring the aesthetics of totality across art forms. Her compositions and performances reflect a deep interest in cross-cultural and linguistic experimentation, and sonic storytelling. Her work has been presented at SXSW, NIME, ICMC, Splice, NYCEMF, ICAD, Audio Mostly, the Audio Engineering Society, and the Internet Archive. As a Yenching Scholar at Peking University, she researched the politics of independent Chinese cinema and the role of music in the films of Jia Zhangke. An artist-in-residence at Gray Area, the Mozilla Foundation in San Francisco, and the Xu Bing Space Art Residency Program, she has collaborated with IRCAM and the Columbia Computer Music Center, and explored the sonification of the universe under the mentorship of physicist Brian Greene. In September 2024, she joined Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), where she occasionally appears in papal form. Héloïse holds bachelor’s degrees in Filmmaking, Economics, and Philosophy from Columbia University, Sciences Po, and Sorbonne University.
