Her work explores creativity as an embodied, relational process through sound art, participatory performance, improvisation, and experimental media. Bringing together artistic research, systems thinking, and embodied inquiry, she creates participatory experiences that investigate listening, perception, collaboration, and collective sense-making. Her work has been presented internationally through performances, installations, conferences, workshops, and collaborative research. Ali is the founder of Studio Cazimi and creator of The Creativity Fix, where she extends her artistic research into facilitation and creative development.




Performance 2026: Headspace

In this project, the performer’s live EEG data is used as a control signal, focuses on the naturally occurring octaves (frequency doubling) within the EEG signal spectrum. As a means of sonifying the brainwave signals, they are mapped into a sequence of audible frequencies through live coded sound synthesis, and stepped through a modulating harmonic series derived from Schumann resonance frequencies. The two domains (EEG and the Schumann resonance) essentially overlap in the electromagnetic spectrum, posing an interesting synchronicity and thought experiment. Through this pairing, manipulated by live-coding 40 individual synthesizers and programmatically mixing the signals in real time, the work brings 2 omnipresent but hidden phenomena together in a soundscape narrative of biofeedback in play with atmospheric feedback.
