Kathy Hinde

The Piano Migrations project was initiated by Kathy Hinde. She has invited other artists, musicians, scientists into the project to create a rich and diverse interdiscplinary mode of practice.

Interdisciplinary artist Kathy Hinde creates work using video projections in innovative ways, as well as working as a musician and composer. She has made work for theatres, outdoor locations, galleries and concert halls having shown work across Europe, Scandinavia, China, Pakistan and Colombia. She works collaboratively with artists from other disciplines, and frequently with the audience / viewer.

Kathy has created interactive visual environments that are responsive to live situations and her video work frequently moves away from the ‘screen’. She has explored projection onto various structures and surfaces – including site-specific public projections and collaborations with performing groups where projections have become scenography. Her musical interests embrace various strategies of improvisation, generative systems, and unconventional notation alongside exploring the use of technology and automata in live performance.

She is part of the N.I.P. collective and Polar Produce and affiliated to the Merlin Theatre, Frome, UK and the Arnolfini, Bristol UK.
