Keith Lindsay is an Irish multidisciplinary artist working with sound, visual media, and generative technology. His practice explores the entanglements of ecology and algorithm, translating natural rhythms into audiovisual works through custom software, sound, moving image, and immersive installations. He is the co-founder of The Water Project (2011–present), a research-driven collective that works with water through sound, light, movement, and performance.
His recent project, Liminal Blooms – Hybrid Ecologies, reimagines machine learning as ecological consciousness through projection, print, and sound. He completed an MPhil in Digital Arts and Intermedia Practices at Trinity College Dublin (2025).
