Personal profile

Personal profile

David is an artist, academic and researcher working with light, sound, noise and interactivity. His work explores the creative potential within the movement of noise in and around systems of sound and light by making / hacking devices and tools for performance, workshop, installation and intervention. Through processes of interaction and making, his practice investigates the links between objects, material consciousness and the body. He runs various experimental workshops exploring sonic arts, hacking, sensors, making and objects / materials in an open collaborative framework through the use of Open Source software and hardware. These workshops are aimed at the sharing of knowledge - D.I.W.O (Doing It With Others) not D.I.Y. Recent work includes site-specific installation, performance, field-recording, re-appropriating media objects, hacking and noise. He has collaborated and exhibited with artists and scientists as well as exhibiting solo work in Canada, China, Europe, Hong Kong, Iceland, Russia, UK and USA.He gained his MA in Interactive Media: Critical Theory and Practice from the Centre of Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths College, London and is currently completing his PhD at University of Plymouth, UK.
