Sondi

Artist and Researcher

Sondi is an artist and researcher from Germany, born in Cameroon and based in the Netherlands. Her practice centres on worldbuilding and worlding within digital spaces and video games. She examines how power and narrative operate in virtual environments, tracing encoded bias, algorithmic discrimination, game mechanics, and the representation of people, places, and ecologies. Through this process, she crafts digital worlds that foreground marginalised voices often excluded from techno-futures.

She creates these worlds primarily through immersive 3D videos developed in game engines, moving fluidly between virtual and physical spaces to reflect on the interplay between corporeal, spiritual, and digital selves. Her work spans interactive installation, game design, audiovisual performance, theatre, music, film, and education. Through speculative practices and critical play, Sondi imagines virtual worlds as places for healing, resistance, and collective dreaming.

In 2025, Sondi's project Non-User Friendly was selected for SPRINGS, a Sonic Acts commissioning opportunity supporting the production of new works.
