Kathy McTavish: høle in the skY
Featuring electronic and acoustic music, video, and an interactive exhibition, høle in the skY explores a pre-apocalyptic world where extinction is imminent and our ecosystem is on the verge of collapse. Drawing on McTavish’s past work in ecosystem modeling, the work considers the delicacy of ecosystems, our human quest to recover those systems, and what it might mean to be the last of a species left alive.
Kathy McTavish is a cellist, composer, and multimedia artist. In live performance, installation and online environments, she blends improvisation, found sound, text, data and abstract, layered, moving images. Her recent work has focused on creating generative methods for building multichannel video and sound environments.
Her exploration of cross-media forms has resulted in the production of print books and recorded work through transmedia landscapes which flow from the digital web into physical installation and performance spaces.
She has a background in mathematics, ecology, music theory and software development. The confluence of these research areas informs her work as a composer / multimedia artist. She creates frameworks for representing dynamical systems and am interested in emergent structures, chance, myth, improvisatory forms, polyphony, interactive webs, harmonic relationships and the orchestration of sound, light, and color.
