George (Poonkhin) Khut is an artist-researcher working in the area of interactive media and arts-and-health.
Working from the notion of the art exhibition as public research laboratory, George’s interactive works focus on the use of biofeedback and physiologically responsive audio-visual systems as tools for sensing and re-imagining our experience of our selves in relation to our body and its processes.
His interactive artworks enable participants to experience, interpret and reflect on aspects of their own body-mind processes and felt experience, through the use of dynamic multimedia environments incorporating electronic sound and light projection.
George has exhibited throughout Australia, Britain, South-East and China, and has been the recipient of several grants from the Australia Council for the Arts (New Media Arts Board and Visual Art) and Arts Tasmania. Recent works include Drawing Breath, Cardiomorphologies v.1 (with John Tonkin) and Cardiomorphologies v.2 (with Lizzie Muller and Greg Turner).
In addition to his recent work with interactive media, George has worked as a sound designer and video artist on numerous dance, theatre and community arts projects, and an arts administrator and professional development adviser (for Salamanca Arts Centre, Hobart, Tasmania and Accessible Arts, New South Wales).
