Pod Blotz is a solo project that is derived from conceptual artistic endeavors and sonic explorations relating to Science Fiction, phenomenon and material reactions. She is interested in the regeneration within materials and sound. She works with photography, video, film, broken glass, multidimensional lenses, chemistry and sound to celebrate and elaborate the phenomenon and permanence.
