Jacob Kirkegaard is a Danish artist focusing on scientific &
aesthetic aspects of resonance, time, sound and hearing. His
installations, compositions and performances deal with acoustic spaces
or phenomena that usually remain imperceptible. Using unorthodox
methods for recording, Kirkegaard captures and contextualizes hitherto
unheard sounds from within a variety of environments: a geyser, a sand
dune, a nuclear power plant, an empty room, a TV tower, and even sounds
from the human inner ear itself.
Based in Berlin, Kirkegaard is a graduate
of the Academy for Media Arts in Cologne, Germany. Since 1995,
Kirkegaard has presented his works at exhibitions and at festivals and
conferences throughout the world. He has released five albums (mostly on
the British label Touch) and is a member of the sound art collective
freq_out.
