SHAPE+ Artist Sofi Shares Recording Captured During Residency at Prague’s MeetFactory

The 27-minute performance is a collaboration with the artists Sorbitol Drops and Natálie Pleváková

SHAPE+ artist Sofi, real name Sofia Zaiceva, has shared a recording from a recent performance at Prague’s MeetFactory.

The 27-minute experimental piece is a collaboration with the artists Sorbitol Drops and Natálie Pleváková, and the recording was captured during an artist residency at the venue. With the performance, the trio aimed to question “how contemplative practices become commodified experiences to be consumed efficiently rather than embodied processes to be lived fully,” a press release said.

Jointly explaining their process, the three artists said: “We built our concept around observing how streaming platforms reduce music to absurdly grotesque algorithmic categories. Taking this phenomenon to its logical extreme, we created our own playlist categories that reflect the reductive nature of digital music curation – ‘lowkey wild ambient’, ‘lo-fi girl’, ‘coastal heavy hitters’, ‘comfort zone anthem’, ‘mainstage confidence’.
