Charles Lindsay is a multi-disciplinary artist interested in technology, semiotics, esoteric forms of humor and the possibility of new ontologies. He creates immersive environments, sound installations, sculptures built from salvaged aerospace and bio-tech equipment, videos and photographs. Lindsay balances his time in the studio with extended periods exploring remote natural environments. Educated as a geologist Lindsay is the SETI Institute's first artist in residence, a Guggenheim Fellow, recipient of the Robert Rauschenberg Residency, artist in residence at Imagine Science Films and the innovator behind OSA EARS - a project designed to deliver real time sound from one of the world's most bio-diverse eco-systems to anyone anywhere with internet. Lindsay's work has been profiled by WIRED, Motherboard, ARTonAIR.org, Viralnet, NPR and CNN International. His career trajectory has been diverse, ranging from exploration geology in the arctic to photojournalism in the jungles of southeast Asia, including a multi-year relationship with a stone age tribe. Lindsay's books reflect a small portion of his personal investigations.At SETI Lindsay is collaborating with astrophysicist Laurance Doyle - who employed information theory and algorithms to prove that humpback whale communications exhibit syntax. "CODE Humpback" references this research through sculptural audio / visual works, combining ideas about encrypted signals and inter-species communications. "CODE Humpback" debuted at the Bolinas Museum (2014.)Lindsay received a Guggenheim Fellowship (2010) for "CARBON" - a hybrid process synthesizing photography and drawing. "CARBON" harnesses the language of high resolution scientific imaging to render ambiguous the micro and the vast, the organic and the digital, the real and the alien. The large scale visuals are altered through sensor feedback and modulation to create subtly responsive art works. "CARBON IV" was shown at the LED LAB NYC (2014.) Lindsay is developing several new works including: "the Sound of a Quantum Computer Thinking" from his recordings at NASA Ame's Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab and "Hope Island" from his oceanic work north of Vancouver Island. "Ecotone" envisions a mobile space in which to decontextualise live sounds from OSA EARS so they are experienced as though in an off earth / post earth environment. In addition there's rumor of a commissioned work for MassMoca (2016.) Coming lectures include "Destination Unknown: Aliens, Art and Consensual Reality" at Rhodes House, for the 2014 class of Rhodes' Scholars and 'Conversations on Media Culture and Practice' at CalArts Center for Integrated Media. Lindsay presented at Moogfest 2014, the California Academy of Sciences, Stanford's Department of Art and Art History, 100 Year Starship Symposium (DARPA), USC's "Visions + Voices" performance series, SwissNex, the American Museum of Natural History, Mountain Film in Telluride, The School of Visual Arts, Pratt School of Art and Design, the Open Center in New York, IDEA CITY in Toronto and at The Hat Creek Observatory for SETI.
