Philip Samartzis is a Melbourne based sound artist and researcher interested in the environmental dissonance informing remote wilderness regions and their communities. His practice is based on deep fieldwork where he deploys complex recording technology to capture natural, human, and geophysical forces. He is particularly interested in concepts of perception, immersion, and embodiment to provide audiences with sophisticated encounters of space and place. Philip is the recipient of three Australian Antarctic Territory Fellowships which he is using to construct a sound map of Eastern Antarctica. In 2021 Philip was selected by Australia Post to appear on the $2.20 stamp to commemorate the Australian Antarctic Arts program.
