About

Welcome to my site. I hope you enjoy looking at my work. You will find installations, performances, music, live visuals, and many works that combine different art forms.
I have a passion for creating work that connects with the natural world and try to reveal the often overlooked poetic qualities and rhythms of the everyday. I enjoy tinkering with technology of all kinds – old and new – which generates an aesthetic quality that fuses the magical qualities of the lastest technology with the more humble, tactile qualities of handcrafted materials.

Biography

Kathy Hinde has created video and sound for theatre and live art performances alongside making installations and site specific work. Her approach combines different art forms frequently through collaborations with other practitioners and scientists. She is keen to share her creative process, and regularly makes artworks that rely on input from the audience. She has shown work across Europe, Scandinavia, China, Pakistan, USA, Colombia and Brazil.

Kathy creates video projections in a live context, by manipulating imagery ‘in the moment’. She is keen to find alternatives to the conventions of a screen.  She has projected video onto all kinds of surfaces including buildings, people, sheets of ice, the floor, sculptural objects and paper constructions. Her musical interests include generative systems, graphic scores and the use of adapted or self-made instruments. She has created a number of works combining kinetic sculpture with musical automata, plus a number of online sound maps.

Previous and current collaborators are many and include:  Joanna MacGregor, Maja Ratkje,  Gabriel Prokofiev, and most recently composer Will Gregory of the duo Goldfrapp by creating video projections for Gregory’s new Opera “Piccard in Space” directed by Jude Kelly at the South Bank Centre, London.

Kathy has worked in a variety of educational settings having facilitated projects with participants ranging from age 3 to over 80 working with organisations such as Aldeburgh Music,  Bedford Creative Arts, Bath International Music Festival, and London Sinfonietta.

In 2008, Kathy was appointed as an Apple Distinguished Educator (ADE). She has previously given talks, lectures or delivered modules at a number of institutions including The University of the West of England, Bath Spa University, Bristol University, Oxford Brookes University, University of Wales Institute Cardiff, Newcastle University, and Liverpool University.
