Ketevan Dolnikova-Hahn alias KETTY VAN DOLN
I am a composer, singer and performance artist based in Düsseldorf, Germany. Under the alias Ketty Van Doln I release music.
Born in Tbilisi to a Georgian mother and a Ukranian father, raised in Moscow, and baised in Germany since 2006, my life has unfolded across multiple cultural and linguistic belongings. This transnational background informs my artistic practice, fostering an ongoing interest in how sound, language, memory and identity are shaped through movement between different worlds and through containing those different worlds myself.
My work explores the relationship between sound, technology, and human perception. Using interactive media, performance, experimental composition, and spatial sound, I create immersive environments in which scientific, neural, and physical processes become audible and tangible.
Situated between audiovisual art, generative music, and performance, my practice combines sound research with artistic experimentation. I am interested in creating spaces for dialogue between artistic and scientific ways of thinking, developing new forms of listening and performance that challenge conventional understandings of sound, presence, and interaction.
