Mark Peter Wright is an artist, researcher and writer working at the intersection of sound arts, experimental pedagogy and critical theory. His book Listening After Nature is published by Bloomsbury, 2022/23. Wright’s practice investigates relations between humans and animals, geographies and technologies, observers and subjects. Ongoing questions include: how does environmental sound convey complex geopolitical meaning? How can technology be practiced with an eco-critical sensitivity and how might listening operate beyond the human? Working between the field and lab, site and gallery, he is committed to amplifying forms of power and poetics within the creative use of sound and documentary media. In addition to his own practice-based research he collaborates extensively. With Helena Hunter he works under the name Matterlurgy on cross disciplinary projects and exhibitions. With Salomé Voegelin he co-convened Points of Listening, a series of public events exploring listening and sound-making as an artful form of pedagogy. With Angus Carlyle he works on projects and performances that explore the relations of listening and recording, nature and aesthetics, site and studio.
