Ex Ponto is the alias of multidisciplinary artist Ivan Mašić, whose work moves between music, light and the moving image. His work spans projection art, video production, sound design, and live performances that invite both reflection and movement. Exploring themes of place, memory, and the ritualistic dimensions of sound, his sets unfold with spontaneity and emotion, weaving together field recordings, layered percussion, voice and electronics.
As a music producer, Ivan has released vinyl and digital recordings on General Purpose, Offen Music, and Best Effort’s Interior Music series, in addition to contributing bi-monthly mixes on Leeds-based Narr Radio.
Ivan is co-director of Little Projector Company (LPC), an artist-led collective creating place-based projection installations that transform architecture, landscapes, and civic spaces into luminous worlds of story and light. Since its founding in 2015, the company has sought to liberate the moving image from the confines of the cinema, expanding it into streets, architecture and Country. Working beyond the black box, LPC repositions projection as a living, site-responsive medium — one that engages public space, amplifies local histories, and invites audiences into shared encounters with sound, story and place.
