Meet Your Instructor!

TOM HALL

Tom Hall is an Australian audio-visual artist who resides in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Hall works with a deep fascination with the interpolation of time, the exploration of peripheral environments, phenomenology, and the non-linearity of everyday life. Drawing from diverse approaches, he recontextualizes these concepts to create soundscapes and visual imagery that merge in hybrid audio-visual environments, offering unique translations of temporality. His artistic expression encompasses found and computer-programmed sound synthesis, reactive visual synthesis, and physical installations, performing and presenting to audiences worldwide.
