Caly McMorrow is a programmer, musician, installation artist, and sound designer, and mash up classical saxophone and piano with live looping, synthesizers, and glitchy DIY electronic instruments. She has a background in music and music technology, sound design, and composition. She finds interest where lines blur between artistic disciplines, techniques, genres, and ideas; and enjoys exploring relationships between seemingly disparate elements. Caly is inspired by the juxtaposition and merging of old with new; live with automatic; organic with electronic; and creator with audience. Common themes in her work include the mutable nature of memory and history; and alternate versions of the past, present, and future. She's influenced by various aesthetics of retrofuturism and science fiction.
Her newest body of work is comprised of installations that incorporate sound, light, interactivity, and indeterminacy. She creates environments where something, a light or sound or activity, can change based on participant input. She is interested in interactive work as a way to challenge the notion that art is to be seen and not touched, and assumptions that technology, art, or creation, in general, are inaccessible or reserved for an elite.
