Testu Collective

Testu Collective is an NYC-based intermedia art group founded by Serena Stucke and Dan Tesene. Their practice spans sound installation, video art, and live performance-building immersive audiovisual environments through close observation of natural phenomena. Testu combines synthetic and organic sounds through field recordings, modular synthesis, hand-made instruments, sound objects, and spatial audio software-building tactile hyperreal soundworlds.

The collective has presented work at Gray Area (SF), 2220 Arts and Archives (LA), Artists Space (NYC), Public Visuals (Tokyo), CTM Festival (online), Ars Electronica (NYC), Ace Hotel (NYC), The Shed (NYC), and Pleamar Festival (Buenos Aires). Most recently, Testu created a multi-channel sound installation for Dan Flavin’s light sculptures at Mana Contemporary. Testu Collective was a 2025 NYSCA grantee.
