Miranda Firmston is an interdisciplinary media artist based in Vancouver, BC, on the unceded lands of the Coast Salish peoples. Their work investigates how sound, touch, and interactive technologies shape bodily and social experience. Working across sound, performance, and new media, they design responsive systems and interfaces that foreground the material and relational dimensions of sound, treating technology as a site of intimacy, care, and consequence.
Firmston maintains an experimental sound practice grounded in real-time synthesis, field recordings, and found sounds, producing works as installations, compositions, or soundtracks for visual media. Their projects explore the ways sound inhabits bodies, environments, and social contexts, emphasizing physicality and experiential engagement.
Firmston is currently completing their BMA in New Media + Sound Art at Emily Carr University of Art and Design.
