Joseph Hyde (b. London 1969) uses digital media to make sound and multimedia works, installations and performances. Particular features of his work are the complex interaction of abstract sound and image, and the integration of interactive technology into live performance. His background in music is apparent through an emphasis on sound and time-based structures.
His work has won
a number of awards and mentions, in competitions such as the Transmediale
(1999), COMTECart (1998), the Concours Internationale at Bourges (1993,
1995, 1997), the Concorso Luigi Russolo (1994, 1995), and Prix Ars Electronica
(1997, 1998). It has been commissioned by bodies such as the BBC, Sonic
Arts Network, The Digital Arts Development Agency (DA2), The International
Symposium on Electronic Art and the Groupe de Musique Expérimentale
de Bourges. It has been performed at events such as the New York and
Montreal film festivals, Pandaemonium, Transmediale, the International
Computer Music Conference, the Gaudeamus festival and the IRCAM Summer
Academy.
