Dani Williamson is a multidisciplinary artist working across the fields of video, sound, performance, durational events and writing. They are highly sensitive to the localities in which they exist and, through their work, explore embodied perceptions of space with a particular attention to the tensions between virtual and physical realms. How is a place experienced by ourselves and others and what does it mean to belong (t)here?

Their practice centers on questions of “place-ness” and the “phenomenology of the in-between” with creative outputs spanning from large scale video projections, online writing groups, to site-specific audiovisual performances which engage surrounding locations, artists and communities.

Co-artistic director of Ensemble Ptilia
Performing member in the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse (AOM)

Born in a cornfield in the Midwest, United States, Williamson graduated in 2011 with a BA in film from SIU, Carbondale, Illinois and in 2014 with an MFA in Digital Arts + New Media from UC Santa Cruz, California.
