Ethan Kirby (London, 2001) is an intermedia artist working in performance, sound works, installation and moving image. With his approach to making informed by D.I.Y practices, movements and their aesthetics 

Ethan's practice revolves around re-instating and appropriating technologies foregoing their original use case for altered and absurd purposes, re-imagining cassettes as a vessel for the circulation and dissemination of social commentary, horn loudspeakers emanating sounds imbued with resistance and twitch livestreams for reciting songs of love and affection.  

He attempts to make serendipitous connections with his audience, a stumbling upon, chance encounters between two nodes in an infinitely expanding media ecology
