Alba Triana

Alba Triana is a Miami-based, Colombian-born sound and intermedia artist. Through immersive installations, sound and light sculptures, and vibrational objects, Alba’s work explores the relationship between the essence of the natural world and our human condition. Delving into vibration, energy, interconnectedness, and nature’s self-organization, Triana’s oeuvre probes how the vitality of everything—alive and inert—greatly determines who we are and all we manifest.

Alba has received the Prix Ars Electronica Award of Distinction (AT), ArtFields Grand Prize, CIFO G&C Award, South Arts Fellowship (US), and Civitella Ranieri Fellowship (IT, US). She was the winner of awards in Colombia such as the IDCT National Composition Contest, National Electroacoustic Music Contest, and Alliance Française Best Exhibition Award. Alba has obtained commissions, residences, and grants from Pro Helvetia (CH), Kronos Quartet, Oolite Arts (US), GMEB (FR), and the Ministry of Culture (CO).

Her work has been shown at Ars Electronica Festival, Lentos Kunstmuseum (AT), Centquatre-Paris, Biennale des Arts Numériques (FR), Orange County Museum of Art (CA, US), and ISEA—International Symposium of Electronic Arts. Alba’s oeuvre belongs to art collections in Europe, Latin America, and the US, including SOLO, Otazu (ES), Banco de la República de Colombia, and Museum of Modern Art of Bogota (CO).

Supported by Pro Helvetia—Swiss Arts Council, from 2018 to 2021, she researched vibration and interconnectedness at a particle level, visiting and consulting with world-class institutions like CERN—European Council for Nuclear Research, EPFL, and the University of Geneva (CH).
