Another Deep explores the impending deep-sea mining in the Svalbard region (Norway) and its inherent implications for our environment, geopolitics, and indigenous ecosystems.

The more we attempt to imitate the beauty of a night sky through artificial light, the more we deprive ourselves of the chance of ever seeing a truly natural star-lit sky. Rather than creating an aggressive atmosphere, Sonia Killmann’s Digital Skies offers a meditation on what current city planning might do to the environment and our mental health. While the visuals oscillate between distorted relatives and harshly lit scenes, the soundscape is created through live saxophone, voice, and synthesised sounds that form a more organic and immersive atmosphere.
Sonia Killmann is a saxophonist, electronic musician, and audiovisual artist, whose practice is deeply influenced by interdisciplinary work and collaborative processes. As a Cryptic Artist, they work primarily as an electronic and multimedia composer, striving to create immersive experiences for audiences.
