Artist Profile

Ojas

Devon Turnbull, known professionally as OJAS, is an artist and audio engineer recognized for designing high-fidelity sound systems and immersive listening environments.

Biography

Devon Turnbull, operating under the moniker OJAS, transitioned from a background in streetwear and fashion into the specialized field of high-end audio design. He gained prominence for constructing bespoke, hand-built speaker systems that prioritize sonic clarity and minimalist aesthetic design.

His work centers on the intersection of industrial design and acoustic engineering, often manifesting as large-scale, sculptural sound installations. These systems are frequently utilized in public and gallery settings to create meditative, shared listening experiences that emphasize the physical presence of high-fidelity audio equipment.

Turnbull’s practice has received institutional recognition through collaborations with major design museums. His recent work includes the installation of a dedicated listening room at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, where his custom audio systems are used to host live programming and public listening sessions.
