Simon Whetham
Since 2005 Simon Whetham has developed a practice of working with sonic activity, often utilising environmental sound, employing a variety of methods and techniques to obtain unnoticed, obscured sonic phenomena.
His artistic investigations have led him to work increasingly in multi-disciplinary projects, especially since focusing on repurposing obsolete technology from 2018. A theme has emerged of revaluing what is deemed worthless.
He performs and exhibits internationally, participating in Koganecho Bazaar (JP); Audioblast (FR); Cappadocia Biennal (TK); You and Me Festival (CN); Chiba City Art Triennale (JP); Intermediale (PL); WIP Festival (CY); Sofia Underground (BG); Simultan (RO); WeSA Festival (KR); Sonica (SI); Fresh Winds Biennale (IS); Nakanojo Biennale (JP); Blurred Edges (DE); Tsonami Festival (CL); Moers Festival (DE) and Madeiradig (PT).
