EP03: Joe Namy x Zeynep Öz

Zeynep Öz speaks with artist, composer and educator Joe Namy about his sound installations that use samples from loud sound systems in cars, glitchy computer-generated noises and sounds converted from the molecular data of plants. His work for SB16 titled 'Dub Plants' (2024-2025) is inspired by Egyptian-American agricultural engineer and pioneer of electronic music, Halim El Dabh. Discover his unique process that blends radio culture and experimental agricultural practices, allowing the grit, uncertainty and chance in nature, urban and public spaces to infiltrate his works.

'Dub Plants' is on view at Al Dhaid from 6 February until 15 June 2025.
