DAMIAN STEWART
Damian Stewart is an artist working with light, sound, and technology, originally from New Zealand and currently based in Vienna, Austria. Through the construction of specific corporeal and psycho-corporeal experiences his work explores the relationships between audience, artwork and artist, and is based on a solid understanding of the history, material properties, and aesthetic possibilities of the systems with which he works. Recent work includes installations, light performances, and environment sonification pieces.
Damian has a diverse background that includes study in electroacoustic music, interior architecture, and computer science; professional software programming work on interactive museum installations and PlayStation2 games; and various music performances including free-jazz orchestras, solo electroacoustic improvised performances, and an electronica/dub band. He is a member of the New Interfaces for Performance (N.I.P.) collective, has performed internationally alongside artists including Biosphere and Deadbeat, and collaborated on projects in the UK, Netherlands, Austria, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, and New Zealand. Damian has been artist-in-residence with groups in the Birmingham, UK; Lisbon, Portugal; and Ljubljana, Slovenia.
