Artist in Residence 2022 – Lise Olsen
Lise Olsen is a responsive artist researching and collecting stories by embracing uncertainty, in-between a sphere of space and the sonic. Her practice explores immersive sound and the ‘Soundwalk’ experience using field-recordings and stories. She is searching for different forms of awareness, by interpreting sound as a sonic identifier of place. A PhD Candidate at the University of Aberdeen, her research focuses on sound art and installation, questioning ‘Why immersive soundscapes create an embodied experience of the in-between’. She enjoys collaborating with others to co-producing work and her collected research uses a diverse range of presentation methods.
