Siri Austeen (1961, NO) is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Trondheim. In her artistic practice, Austeen is concerned with the relationship between sound, place and reality; how different listening strategies affect our understanding of reality and ourselves as part of a whole. A recurring theme in her work is the intervention of the individual, collective and ecological structures. Austeen's practice, which is often based on exploratory field recordings, is expressed as site-specific sound installations, participant-based projects, performances, radio productions, and public art assignments.
