Irfan BrkoviC is bosnian artist‑researcher working with sound, light, and photo sensitive media to transduce sonic events into material trace. his practice excavates collective memory and infrastructural ruin in post‑conflict spaces of the former Yugoslavia.
His research centres on laserography: sound‑modulated laser systems that inscribe acoustic vibrations onto photosensitive surfaces and architectural concrete, producing permanent images of sound. Laserography treats bunkers, monuments, and industrial ruins as instruments and storage media, asking how ideological collapse and everyday violence can be inscribed as material evidence, generating new clues for reconstructing events and contested memories. Recent work folds in neural synthesis and interactive machine learning to reconstruct and contest fragmented archives from SARAJEVO Safari, Bosnian war, Belgrade protestS, and Western Balkan migrations.
Brkovic IS CURRENTLY A PHD CANDIDATE AT CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY IN MONTREAL, Canada.He holds an MFA from Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts (2025) in Vancouver. He was Lead Video Artist for THE Wooster Group in New York and co‑founded Phase Space NYC, a lab for creative coding, vector synthesis, and experimental performance. In the early 2000s, he founded Fa11out, a Bosnian audiovisual drum-and-bass collective, and continues to develop electroacoustic experiential environments.
