Dr Jo Burzynska is a multimedia artist, researcher, curator and writer. Her initial practice in sound spans sonic art to multisensory installations that regularly use her own field recordings. Over the last decade her work has become increasingly multisensory, often combining sound with taste, touch, and the scents she often distills herself. She has presented and created her work across the world, from the streets of Ōtautahi, to Maxxi National Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome. Jo is actively engaged in research into sensory interactions and their creative application, pioneering a practice she calls crossmodal art that was the focus of her practice-led doctoral research. Through a focus on embodied and nonvisual sensory knowledge and aesthetics, she is interested in exploring the different connections and understandings that can be made between people, culture, nature, and place. Jo is based in Ōhinehou Lyttelton, New Zealand.
