Jana Winderen
Jana Winderen is an artist educated in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College in London, and with a background in mathematics, chemistry and fish ecology from the University in Oslo. Winderen researches the hidden depths with the latest technology; her work reveals the complexity and strangeness of the unseen world beneath. The audio topography of the oceans and the depth of ice crevasses are brought to the surface. She is concerned with finding and revealing sounds from hidden sources, both inaudible for the human senses and sounds from places and creatures difficult to access.
Recent works include “Surface Interruption” (2016) for the Meštrovićev pavilion in Zagreb, “Pasvikdalen” (2015) for the Sonic Acts Festival / Dark Ecology in Amsterdam, “Dive” (2014), a 64 channel audio installation in Park Avenue Tunnel, commissioned by New York Department of Transportation, "Ultrafield" (2013) commissioned by MoMA, Museum of Modern Art in New York, “ultraworld” (2012) commissioned by Sound and Music for BEOPEN at Trafalgar Square, London, “Between Dry Land” (2011) for Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary in Istanbul. Recent releases include the “The Wanderer” on Ash International (UK), “Out of Range” (2014), “Debris” (2012) and “Energy Field” (2010) on Touch (UK).
From 2011 – 2014 she was resident artist at Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary Academy on the vessel Dardanella with her ongoing project “Silencing of the reefs”.

She is currently working on commissions for installations and concerts internationally. Winderen releases her work on Touch (UK). In 2011 she won the Golden Nica, for Digital Musics & Sound Art, Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria.
