Holding a Master's degree in Sound Studies, he works as a producer of art installations, audio essays, musical compositions and live performances. His artistic practice is based on an auditory approach of the real informed by researches on cultural and historical aspects of sound production and reception. Combining ethnography, critical discourse and formal experiments, Aubry's work somehow fits in a Western tradition of art documentary. His 'sonic images' (phonographies) of more or less identified situations stand as an attempt to challenge problematic aspects of visual representations.
Recent artistic projects include BERLIN BACKYARDS (2007, audio piece distinguished at the Phonurgia Nova Competition 2007), MODULOR (2008, sound installation, Singuhr Galery, Berlin), OUTSIDE OF THE PLANE (2008, sound installation, Cairoscape Exhibition, Kunstraum Bethanien, Berlin), PLANES (2009, audio installation, Laptopia Sound Exhibition, Bat Yam Museum, Tel Aviv), LES ECOUTIS LE CAIRE (2009, audio piece premiered on Deutschland Radio), BELJU SOUND BRIDGE (2009, network of audio installations at the Swiss-French Border) and HI-FI BORDERS (2010, sound installation presented at Club Transmediale, Berlin).
