Robin Koek is an enterprising sound artist who aspires to nurture a new cognitive understanding of the world surrounding us mediated through art and education. His work reflects on the environment integrating field recordings and site-specificity in composition and installation practice, researching the spatial nature of sound in both the physical and virtual realm. He constructs immersive experiences at the intersections of these worlds merging analog, digital and acoustic phenomena. These augmented realities are sculpted out of code, sensing devices and media projections developed in interdisciplinary teams. These realities can be experienced as dynamic environments in which sensory feedback to the interactor is an essential component. His recent works explore a transhumanist approach in which technology plays an important role to explore new forms of interspecies communication and mutual understanding fostering new art ecologies.

Koek combines his creative sound practice with teaching as Music Production Tutor at the Art of Sound department of the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, Netherlands
