About
Aaron Dees
Multimedia artist
My practice explores the intersection of natural and synthetic processes. Moving across digital media, painting, sound, and installation, I create interconnected works that engage the environment. Guided by both research and intuition, I combine emerging technologies with traditional artistic methods.
Through computer programming and digital systems, I develop both digital and physical works exploring computational aesthetics that respond to natural phenomena and more-than-human experience.
Sound is often used as a subject and as a material in my works. I explore endangered and lost soundscapes with nuanced sonic moments that pass unnoticed in daily life. By foregrounding these sounds in my works, I aim to open dialogues between listening, seeing, and remembering.
In a culture immersed in immediacy, my work invites a slower mode of engagement, an opportunity to pause, to listen, and to encounter distilled traces of the natural world with care.
