Born in Mexico, Daniela Huerta is a Berlin-based multimedia artist and researcher. She holds a BA from Central Saint Martins, London, and is certified in Deep Listening through the Center for Deep Listening, founded by composer Pauline Oliveros.
Her practice approaches sound as both a medium and a site of excavation, activating collective memory and consciousness. Working across composition, spatial installation and performance, Huerta conceives listening as an act of uncovering layered temporalities embedded in place, myth, and architectural resonance. Her current research treats mythology as an operative system of knowledge, drawing on feminine archetypal figures and speculative fabulation to imagine alternative temporalities and collective forms of attunement. Rooted in transmutation, her approach is both raw and refined—an exploration of sound as a narrative force.
Her interdisciplinary projects include KOAXULA, a sonic activation duo with Colombian artist Natalia Escobar that reimagines and decolonizes feminine archetypes through mythological narratives; HUERTA ENSAMBLE, a collaborative research project with Concepción Huerta focused on synthesis and magnetic tape; and WILDING AI, a public experiment exploring speculative AI futures through large language models and generative sound, as well as collaborations with Soundwalk Collective, Lucrecia Dalt, Iván Argote, Vincent Moon, Ash Fure, Ale Hop, perila, and Cornelia Pierce.
Huerta has presented her work internationally at venues and festivals such as Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, MUTEK Montréal and México, CTM Festival, Heroines of Sound, Berghain, Neue Nationalgalerie, Silent Green, and Kiezsalon, among others. Her commissioned work includes projects for the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Centre Pompidou, Musée d’Orsay, MOCA Geffen Warehouse, Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, and ArteBA. She has held residencies at EMS Stockholm, MONOM Berlin, Université de Montréal’s Laboratoire formes · ondes, Morphine Raum, Goethe-Institut, and Amplify Berlin.
She has released music on labels including Other People, Concentric Records, Tsuku Boshi, Karlrecords, Kashual Plastik, WET, and Petites Planètes. Her debut LP, SOPLO, was released on Elevator Bath in October 2024.
