Gemma Crowe is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Gemma Crowe works at the intersection of sound, new media and movement exploring ways of knowing beyond cognition by encouraging a felt-sense through aesthetic affect.

Gemma Crowe’s research is concerned with the illusory potential of sound and the sensory apprehension of movement. She completed an MFA where her thesis received a research award through Emily Carr University and her graduate exhibition; the “sonic surfaces series,” was awarded the MFA Opus Art Supplies award. Gemma has used 4DSOUND spatial sound software through a residency with Lobe Studio to examine sound and the bodily experience and continues to create multichannel sound installations. She has presented on multisensory movement installation at the Dance Studies Association conference and embodied sonic design at the International Seminar on Sonic Design, resulting in a published chapter in “Sonic Design: Explorations Between Art and Science.” Her artistic research and professional involvements integrate interdisciplinary practices and a critique of the way we experience art.
