SETH GUY:
Seth Guy appropriates, reconfigures and juxtaposes materials to create playful performative works which explore the discourse between ear and eye.
Influenced by his interests in experimental fiction, art, and music, Seth's research investigates the intersections of shared language, of memory, and imagination, in which the acts of listening and visualising are investigated. Often collaborating and devising projects of a participatory and experiential nature, Seth makes both sonic art and visual art - sound compositions, performances, and collage - work which is often humorous, and occasionally disquieting.
