Dr. Chris A. Wright is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher and writer based in the UK exhibiting nationally and internationally primarily using installation, sound, film, internet idiosyncrasies and sometimes pseudo-scientific experiments. As part of my practice, I have sailed paper boats down the official borderline between Thailand and Laos on the Mekong River; blown across a bottle top in a fjord in Norway to test the liminality of sound; recorded 400,000 bees going into hives in Birmingham, used a neon pink aquarium amplified with a guitar amp to hear the inside of the bubbles and hummed in a crypt in Sardinia with an American researcher. With a practice-led PhD in Fine Art and Philosophy,  my concerns are absence and presence, borders and marginal spaces, political and social engagement, materials and process with a particular current focus on sound and its relationship to time/space and where it intersects with the body.
