Ari Cardozo (Caracas, 1996) is an artist, performer and musician living in Barcelona. Her work is deeply influenced by popular music, and is concerned with the concept of noise in its different interpretations.

Ever active in Barcelona’s underground scene, she has been releasing music independently since 2016 with her own name and through the Astronaut Chick moniker. She is a member of the catalan label and collective Nova Era.

Her newfound interest in improvisational methodology has resulted in longform electro-acoustic compositions such as “por cada milla que avanzan los pies, el corazón avanza nueve” (2022) and the ongoing “Barcelona Memories” project.

Some of her recent performance work include “Demasiado Ímpetu” commissioned for the Art Nou 2022 festival inauguration in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat; a collaboration with Javier R. Pérez-Curiel for his show “Declutter” at La Taller (Bilbao, 2022); and a concert accompaining Irantzu Yaldebere’s visual work at Halfhouse (Barcelona, 2022) within their Eremuak Residency programme.

As an Arts & Design student at Escola Massana (2017 - present) she has been developing a collaborative student radio station for the school alongside fellow student Daniel Verín and under the guidance of professors Montse Romaní and Marcel Pie.
