is a sonic and visual artist and Junior Professor of Acoustic Ecologies and Sound Studies at Bauhaus University Weimar. She works across the fields of sound, sculpture, kinetics, light and drawing and explores the diversity of sensory ecologies and the possibilities of tuning into the differences of the world.
Kerstin is co-founder of the Sono-Choreographic-Collective for transdisciplinary art and research, which develops and explores new somatic and musical research instruments together with alternative ways of playing, writing and interdisciplinary choreography. Moreover, she co-edited the volume Navigating Noise (Walther König, Berlin): a collection of academic and artistic contributions, that addresses the need for alternative means of orientation to deal with noise, was fellow at the Berlin Center of Advanced Studies of the University of the Arts Berlin and associated artist with the quantum-optical research project nuClock.
Her current research focuses on sonifying and personifying environmental data together with live listening to environments over longer periods of time. One important question is how a long-term collaboration between sonic arts and climate science can be translated both in cross-disciplinary dialog and joint action and in public experiences that offer connections to the fragile complexity of planetary systems.
