Tess Oldfield (b.1992) is a sonic/spatial transformer/synthesizer/composer. She is currently exploring music composition by designing speculative acoustic digital instruments. By creating physical computing systems, she codes kinetic sound sculptures to create immersive three dimensional sound space. The process of transforming found instruments into digital installations allows the work to engage with contemporary new media practices and experimental music composition. She holds a MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in Digital + Media and has exhibited her work throughout New England including Yale University Sculpture Gallery, the New Bedford Art Museum and CyberArtsBoston. She is a Critic/Lecturer at the Rhode Island School of Design in Experimental Foundation Studies and Digital + Media/Computation, Technology & Culture and lives and works in Chicago, IL.
