about
Loré Lixenberg lives and works in London and Vienna. Her performative projects explore the intersection of voice, politics, economy, and technology. These include PRET A CHANTER™ (a live fashion-opera), Panic Room – The Singterviews (a series of sung interviews), SINGLR (a real-time operatic dating app), Voxxcoin (a blockchain-based opera exploring fiscal exchange), and LETHE (an opera film about death rituals). Her piece theVoicePartyOperaBotFarm[myMuseIsMyFury] won the Phonurgia Nova international sound art prize in 2021. In 2017, she founded The Voice Party – a hybrid artwork that functions as both a political party and an opera. In 2019 and 2024, she turned electoral participation into a durational performance, by standing as a candidate in the UK general elections. She co-directed La Plaque Tournante – the Berlin-based art space and hub for historic and contemporary avant-garde sound, text, and performance – with Frédéric Acquaviva. This was awarded the Berlin Senate Prize for Best Project Space in 2017.
