Daphnis *they/ them, (GR) is a new media artist, noise maker/ performer and researcher. Their ongoing broader research questions how intimacy, love and poetry can be reconceived in a hyperreality, with the main purpose, in search of empathy.

They create immersive soundscapes from a combination of spoken words/prose poems, recordings of technological objects, distorted sounds of instruments, analog synths, and their body itself.
