Ariadne Randall is an American artist, composer, and writer based in Vienna, Austria. She holds degrees in classical composition and contemporary art from UCLA and Bard MFA, and straddles the worlds of academia and DIY. Practicing worldbuilding, she creates spaces for imagination in sound, language, and image. In her work, underground queer raves coexist with Medieval polyphony, Foucault with the leather he wore, alongside Zen koans, Low Theory, postwar American experimentalism, contemporary digital culture, and poetry.

She is documenting her gender transition through a trilogy of performance works; the first, Reverse Cowgirl Beta, premiered at Brut, Vienna in 2023; the second will feature McKenzie Wark. Her visual art is represented by Galerie Peter Gaugy.

Ariadne has worked with the likes of Rosa Anschütz, Via App, Genevieve Belleveau, Dreamcrusher, Eartheater, Matt Evans, Filous, Filly, Golden Vessel, Wayne Horvitz, and the Vienna Volksoper. She has also shared stages with Show Me The Body, Blood Orange, Dan Deacon, Huerco S., Guerrilla Toss, A Place To Bury Strangers, Ratking, and Ben Seretan, among others.
