About

Astrid Bin is an interdisciplinary artist and designer.

Her artistic work examines the poetry in everyday things and the connections between people and their environments, and blurs, skips over and stamps on the line between art and design practice. She has exhibited all over the world.

She is an expert in what it means to be creative with machines in an age of automation, and her outputs include hardware and software interfaces for musical exploration, digital musical instruments, and re-imagining the music listening experience.
