about
Sandy Davis (b. Madrid, Spain) is a sound artist, creative technologist, and multidisciplinary designer working at the intersection of immersive media, spatial audio, and interaction design. Based between New York and Barcelona, she builds technology-driven experiences that integrate storytelling, spatial design, and audience engagement, with a particular focus on data, emerging technologies, and environmental systems.
She holds a Master's in Digital Arts and Creative Technologies from La Salle University Barcelona (2025), completed under the joint tutorship of AI music technologist Moises Horta Valenzuela, where she specialized in immersive installation design, spatial sound, experience design, and visual programming. Her thesis work, Rabia (2024), is an interactive audiovisual performance system built around a custom AI sound model that explores emotional feedback through embodied participation; it has been presented at MIRA Festival, OFFF Festival, and Light Nights Festival. Her design approach is further shaped by a postgraduate degree in graphic design focused on creative direction, branding strategy, and visual systems, and a Certificate in Advanced Sound Design from the Catalyst Institute of Arts & Technology, Berlin.
Her practice investigates the sonic possibilities of deep learning systems, leveraging generative systems, AI modeling, and real-time processing to build responsive environments that prioritize interaction and emotional impact. Recent projects include Invisible Energy (2024), a site-specific installation at the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in collaboration with architect Josep Miàs, where she served as lead sound designer and technical consultant, and The Fountain (2024), a generative installation examining AI's relationship to the environment. She has also collaborated with Neutone AI to develop a custom neural audio model trained on recordings of her own heartbeat (Corazón), a direct investigation of what structural meaning a machine extracts from biological rhythm. Her work has been presented at the Espronceda Center for Art & Culture and the IASLab in Barcelona.
Before turning to sound art and technology, Sandy toured and released music internationally under the project Pecas, a foundation that keeps her understanding of composition grounded in live performance.
