Sound Arts

“ In times of constant disruptive changes and overstimulation, I try as an artist to push unity and self awareness through various mediums of technology and sound, allowing the creation of subjects that appeal to the core of humanism and its many natural conditions.”

“ I view interactivity as a key component to my Sound Arts installations. Tangible involvement from the listener/viewer/participant as an integral part of the installations environment. This may include visual elements such as video projection mapping, kinetic sculpture, or performance. Sound as a material figures heavily in my work, as much as the stimulus of self discovery in a user friendly environment. I create and strive to construct a direct connection between audience and the art piece. For me, the audiences’ engagement and interaction with the work is a kind of malleable material able to be sculpted and learned from.”

“ I explore concepts of individuality, the social and the psychological space; I inquire and mediate emotions and the inquisitive of the viewers, their connection to their own core feelings such as embarrassment, desire, curiosity, confusion and faith.”
