Bridget Johnson creates immersive sound installations and performances that heighten the audience’s experience with spatial audio. Her work focuses on exploring the way sound can move through space and developing new interfaces and experiences to allow composers and performers to further explore expressivity through real-time spatialisation in their work. Her installations explore these themes in combination with site-specificity and abstraction of time.
Bridget received a PhD from Victoria University of Wellington working with both the School of Engineering and Computer Science and the New Zealand School of Music. She is an Associate Professor and the Associate Head of School of Te Rewa o Puanga (Commercial Music and Screen Arts) at the College of Creative Arts, Massey University, in Wellington, New Zealand. Her works have been shown in the United States, Europe, Singapore, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
Bridget is available for performances, installations, collaborative workshops, speaking engagements, and to design and develop interfaces or systems for other artists.
