Dale Cotton
Dale Cotton was born in Christchurch and currently resides at Nine Mile Beach Te Tai Poutini, New Zealand. He graduated from the SAE Institute Sydney in 1992 with a diploma in audio engineering, and from Otago University in 2018 with a Masters in Music. He is a practicing artist and full-time media professional with many New Zealand music awards to his name. Cotton works within the context of contemporary sound and light composition, electroacoustic art, data sonification/cultural analytics, production design and management. He began working seriously with media arts during a master’s degree in analysis and electroacoustic composition. His inspiration comes from the history of music and visual art as well as the immediate matter of the world around us, the way they behave, the way they are generated, and by systems and data and the traces that those systems and data reveal. These interests have lead his work into worlds of cutting-edge technologies, new media and sonification. Binding together these inspirations is an overarching search for the new art and the way it can touch and inform the viewer and listener.
