Julia E. Dyck

Julia E. Dyck (b. 1989, Winnipeg, Canada) is a Canadian artist based in Brussels. Julia’s relational and speculative practice explores the possible connections between the body, (sub)consciousness & technology through performance, composition, installation and transmission. Julia’s training as a hypnotherapist influences her practice, creating experiences of collective transformation and somnambulism with a focus on the sonic. 

Dyck’s practice includes her own modes of transmission and dissemination, such as the monthly t.r.a.n.c.e community hypnosis sessions with live sound she conducts in her Brussels studio with Diana Duta, the lecture-meditations she offers, and the personalised sound prescriptions made up of poetry, sound creations, binaural beats and ASMR that she produces with the Audio Placebo Plaza collective (with Erin Gee and Vivian Li).
