Angela McArthur is artist-in-residence at the Institut für Elektronische Musik (IEM) in Graz. She is a practitioner and PhD candidate, researching the aesthetics of distance in spatial sound for immersive environments.
She’s worked in studio, live and location environments, and her work draws from the technologies, perception and art of spatial sound, to tackle an intersection of the three.
She draws from eco-feminist discourse about the natural environment, and non-human ontologies. She is currently focused on spatial listening as aesthetic practice.
She co-produced a Sheffield Docfest-shortlisted VR film in 2017, is working with a US-based geo-scientist’s infrasonic sound for an upcoming installation, and has had recent exhibits at Ars Electronica (in collaboration with the BBC), and Tate Modern (in collaboration with Nathaniel Mann).
