Erin Gee is a sound and media artist from Saskatchewan who centralizes on digital culture through human voices in electronic bodies. Her work in interactive installation, video, and performance has been presented by such venues as Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery (Montreal, 2012), Tin Sheds Gallery (Sydney, 2012), TACTIC, Cork, Ireland (2011), and Arcade Gallery, Chicago (2010). In 2009 she was awarded an honorable mention in the Bourges International Electroacoustic competition, and since has been invited to create work for the New Adventures in Sound Art: Deep Wireless Festival (Toronto, 2011) and the Powerhouse Museum (Sydney, Australia 2011), where she incorporated media artist Stelarc’s work Thinking Head into her robotic opera Orpheux Larynx. Her latest projects include ANIM.OS, a generative, networked choir of computers that sing about architecture, and Swarming Emotional Pianos, a collaboration with neurophysiologist Vaughan Macefield to create a fleet of mobile musical robots controlled via human emotion. Swarming Emotional Pianos will be premiered by Montreal-based chamber music organization Innovations en Concert in 2013/2014. In addition to this work, Gee has published in the journal of the Canadian Electroacoustic Community, eContact!, and has an upcoming article in Leonardo Music in 2013. Gee lives and works in Montreal, Canada where she is currently completing an MFA in Visual Arts at Concordia University. eringee.net
