Kathy McTavish Bio:
Kathy McTavish is a media composer and installation artist who creates chance-infused, open systems. Drawing from a background in cello performance, mathematics, ecology, music theory and code, Kathy’s work explores the porous, intimate boundaries between humans and machines. The multi-media techniques used include hand-coded generative methods to create a multi-channel kaleidoscope of sound, animation and physical artifacts - a cross-sensory landscape that flows from the digital cloud into the physical world.
Kathy is the recipient of numerous commissions, grants, fellowships and residencies from the Jerome Foundation, the McKnight Foundation, Minnesota State Arts Board, American Composers Foundation, Walker Art Center, Northern Lights.mn, Tweed Museum of Art, Zeitgeist New Music Quartet, Arteles International Artist Residency (Finland), Creative Community Leadership Institute (Bush Foundation / Intermedia Arts), United States Artists / Cheswatyr Foundation, Puffin Foundation, the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council and others.
