Dinah Bird
Dinah Bird is a sound and radio artist living and working in Paris. Her practice question the notion of diffusion, transmission and memory and is highly responsive to place. Her work includes broadcasts, soundworks, installations and audio publications that are often inspired by early communication technologies and archives. Current interests include old weather, shellac and high frequency trading. Her creations have been played on BBC Radio4, France Culture’s Atelier de Création Radiophonique, Resonance FM, Kunst Radio, through the Radia network, and have been presented at radio festivals in over twenty-five countries around the world.
She is presently employed by the Paris Museum of Modern Art to develop a programme of sound workshops with vulnerable people in correlation to the exhibitions.
DinahBird and Jean-Philippe Renoult are sound and radio artists based in Paris. Through their solo and joint works they re-imagine and repurpose early communication and recording technologies such as radio waves, tape recorders, antennas, transistors, ghetto blasters, and undersea cables. They are interested in exploring the aesthetic, material and social aspects of transmission technology through electroacoustic compositions, sound installations, radio art, photography, and live performances.
