Katie Paterson's conceptual projects make use of sophisticated
technologies and specialist expertise to stage intimate, poetic and
philosophical engagements between man and his natural environment. In
the past, Katie has broadcast the sounds of a melting glacier live to a
visitor on a mobile phone in an art gallery, mapped all the dead stars,
compiled a slide archive of the history of darkness across the ages,
custom-made a light bulb to simulate the experience of moonlight, and
buried a nano-sized grain of sand deep within the Sahara desert. Since
graduating from Slade School of Art in 2007, Katie has gone on to
exhibit internationally, from London to New York, Berlin to Seoul, and
her works has been included in major group shows at Tate in London, and
Vienna's Kunsthalle.
