Ash and Memory

Aksenia Avramova

Aksenia Avramova is an interdisciplinary artist based in Sofia. She holds a Master’s degree in Digital Arts from the National Academy of Art, where she deepened her engagement with new media practices. Her work focuses on themes such as memory, ecology, philosophy, and memoriality, explored through sound, video, and electronics. Her projects often combine digital technologies with materials from the physical environment, creating hybrid forms of perception and narrative.

Ash and Memory is an audio-visual installation that transforms satellite fire data from NASA FIRMS into sound through spectral synthesis. It explores how data, sound, and material trans­­­- ­formation can generate alternative forms of memory. Centered on the 2024 forest fires in Voden and Gorska Polyana, the work reimagines remembrance beyond the image–through frequency, vibration, and the physical traces of data turned to dust.
