Helena Linder is a Stockholm-based artist who primarily focuses on instrument building and photography. With a background in physics, she finds beauty in scientific explorations of sound and light. Her work is driven by a curiosity about natural phenomena, and her practice echoes the scientific method. Such an ethos permeates her project Sirenology, where she is creating an acoustic synthesizer inspired by the mechanisms and historical context of sirens as tools in 19th–century acoustics labs. Helena’s affiliations in Stockholm include membership in Elektronmusikstudion (EMS), Konstmusiksystrar, and Fylkingen. ![](Attachments/Images/hl2.jpg) I’m looking for a PhD position 𓀏 my research interests are musical instrument design, physical computing, media archaeology, history of science, epistemology, STS, new materialism, low tech, and the post-digital.
