Joseph Callaly

Joseph Callaly is an artist and academic specialising in the political economy of sound and digital cultures. His research concerns how listening is organised by the systems around us, from the subjective experience of tinnitus to the infrastructures, platforms, and urban rules that decide what becomes audible, credible, and shareable.

Callaly is a lecturer at Monash University, teaching across the faculties of Music, as well as Business and Economics. He completed a PhD in Arts at Monash University in 2025 with the thesis On Transversal Creativities: Figures of a Sonic and Machinic Apparatus, which draws on the works of Félix Guattari to conceptualise creativity as a distributed process unfolding across sonic, machinic, and material relations.
