Mariam Songhulashvili is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tbilisi, Georgia, working primarily with generative and interactive time-based visual art. Their practice explores the boundaries between abstraction and narration, often incorporating text, archival materials, and imagery such as scans or satellite data which reflect on urban spaces. Collaboration is central to their practice, typically involving musicians and writers.











  • Dots and Lines
"Dots and Lines" is a collaborative work of two independent artists, Nino Davadze and Mariam Songhulashvili, which observes the audio-visual characteristics of the city. The piece is a synthesis of visual images of the city and field recordings, where both artists process the material with a random principle. 


A city is a set of intersection points and lines connecting them. These relations create a kind of urban arithmetic, which emphasizes the simultaneous coexistence of both an orderly system and a random, changing space in the city.


The visual texture of the piece relies on cartographic and meteorological data of Tbilisi and is triggered by the audio impulses. The “Dot and Lines” as sonic form is the collection of fragments recorded in the city, which on one hand, reflects on social aspects of everyday life, but on the other hand,  opposes it by brutal sound interaction. The audio piece is partly improvised, partly pre-prepared, where the raw audio material is processed into rhythmic or harmonic phrases.
