Julia E. Dyck is an artist, hypnotist and radio producer originally from Treaty One Territory/ Winnipeg who currently works and lives between Brussels and Montreal/Tiohtià:ke. Julia’s relational and speculative practice explores the possible connections between the body, (sub)consciousness & technology through performance, composition, installation and transmission. Trained as a hypnotherapist, Julia creates experiences of collective transformation and somnambulism with a focus on the sonic. Using sound, vibrations and waves as important levers of healing, Dyck considers real listening, to the environment and to others, as a possible anti-normative and queer act.
Dyck’s practice includes her own modes of transmission and dissemination, such as the monthly hypnosis sessions with live sound she conducts in her Brussels studio with Diana Duta, the lecture-meditations she offers, and the personalised sound prescriptions made up of poetry, sound creations, binaural beats and ASMR that she produces with the Audio Placebo Plaza collective (with Erin Gee and Vivian Li).
With a practice at the intersection of digital, interactive, multimedia and sound art, Julia has been involved with Ada X 2015. She was the host of ffiles radio show from 2015 to 2021 and of Radio camp 2018, part of the HTMlles programming in 2022 & 2024, and facilitated a series of DIY electronics workshops in 2017. She has experience in composition, coding, sound design, performance, facilitation, live performance, spoken word, writing, radio production, installation, and hypnosis.
