Damian Stewart (NZ/AT) is an artist working with sound, code, light, and electronics. In his work he is interested in creating senses of space that transcend the immediate physical environment of the viewer. His ideas come from a diverse background that includes musicianship as an improvising electroacoustic performer, time spent as a professional software programmer, and an education including elements of architecture and spatial design. Using custom electronics and sensors combined with computers, Damian build installations using light and sound. Drawing on ideas of performance, Damian pursues the creation of beautiful work that engages with the audience at an intuitive level and invites a deep sense of freedom and of play. In building interactive pieces he is interested in blurring the lines between artist and audience, dissolving implicit hierarchies of artistic experience and elevating the audience to the level of artistic collaborator, even as he releases his grip as an artist on the specifics of audience experiences of his work.
