Tim Shaw is an artist working with sound, light and communication media. Presenting work through performances, installations and sound walks, Tim is interested in how affective environments can be constructed or explored using a diverse range of techniques and technologies. 

Working with field recordings, electronics, video, synthesis, sound objects, self-made hardware and DIY software his practice creatively appropriates communication technologies to explore how these devices change the way we experience the world. He presents work in galleries, forests, warehouses, caves, public spaces, festivals, museums, through residencies and cultural events both nationally and internationally. 

Collaboration plays a central role in his approach and he has been lucky enough to make artistic work with Chris Watson, Phill Niblock, John Bowers, John Richards (Dirty Electronics), Tetsuya Umeda, Jacek Smolicki and Sébastien Piquemal (among many others).
