Darsha Hewitt is an interdisciplinary artist investigating the material politics of sound (and music), with a focus on empowerment and agency within technological environments. Through installations, illustrations, how-to videos, and performative workshops, she creates spaces for critical engagement with the entanglements between humans, technology, and ecology.
Darsha engages with diverse technical communities—including retired engineers and technicians—to learn disappearing techniques, which she integrates into her practice and shares within the art/technology milieu. Her signature DIY electronics and experimental pedagogies have been featured at Chaos Computer Congress, Make: Magazine, and in Art + DIY Electronics (MIT Press, 2023). She has taught at Bauhaus University, UdK Berlin, Kunsthochschule Kassel, and HfG Karlsruhe.
