Christina Kubisch (Germany) is a pioneer of sound art installation and one of today’s most prominent European sound artists. Kubisch trained as a visual artist, musician, and composer in Hamburg, Graz, Zurich and Milan. She studied flute and piano before turning to electronic music and later focusing on sound sculpture and sound installations, which often involved ultraviolet light, solar energy, and electromagnetic induction. In 2003, she began an ongoing project Electrical Walks: public walks with specially made headphones that receive electromagnetic signals from the environment and convert them into sound. She has developed 66 walks worldwide, including for ZKM, Karlsruhe, The Kitchen, New York, Ars Electronica, Linz, Kontraste, Krems, and documenta 14, Athens. Kubisch was Professor of Sound Art at the Academy of Fine Arts, Saarbrücken, Germany, from 1994 to 2013. She has been a member of the Akademie der Künste Berlin since 1997. www.christinakubisch.de
