about

Stilli Wyes (Kelsey Jin Sook Willits) is a Berlin-based interdisciplinary artist, writer, and sound performer. Working across live performance, drone, ambient composition, spoken verse, moving image, and installation, her practice explores sound as a spatial and poetic medium.

Her work draws from media archaeology, ecological thought, autofiction, and cybernetic theory to examine transmission, memory, noise, and diasporic subjectivity. Through live vocal performance, sustained sonic textures, and recursive text, she constructs environments where interference, distortion, and intimacy become methods of listening and relation.

In 2026, Wyes completed her MA in Raumstrategien at Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee, where she developed MTVR (Mechanical TV Radio) as an ongoing performance and publishing project. The series combines live score, drone, spoken verse, and moving image performance, extending into artist publications and experimental sound works. She has presented MTVR in Berlin, including performances at kwia berlin, and self-published the accompanying artist chapbook The Mechanical TV Radio.

Born in Daegu, South Korea, and raised in the United States, Wyes holds a BFA in Sculpture from the University of Kansas. She has exhibited and performed internationally, with recent projects spanning Berlin, Mardid, and São Paulo, and her writing appearing in forthcoming publications with M+D Studios and Gassen Projects.
