Shaye Thiel

Statement

Shaye Thiel (she/her) is a London-based American-Canadian artist with work held in private collections across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany. In collaboration with leading neuroscientists, her current research explores the boundaries of sound perception for individuals who are hard of hearing and use hearing aids. Based on lived experience, Shaye views sound as a participatory act via site-specific performative exchanges between participants and machine. Her work aims to transition the role of the public from observer to the observed via a deeper Quantum Listening.
