Julie Andreyev

She completed her PhD at Simon Fraser University in 2017[3] where her research examined compassion as a means for improved human awareness and relationship with more-than-human worlds.

The Animal Lover projects are often produced in collaboration with companion dogs Tom and Sugi where respect, fun and challenge are employed in the process.

[10] The aim of the project is to advance methods of improvisation and active listening, proposing live audio soundscapes that mesh canine sounds with electroacoustic practice.

[12] *glisten) HIVE is a digital media project commissioned by 'CODE Live 2' for the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad, in which Twitter posts about animal consciousness were visualized in a real-time exhibition space.

The collective online communication from participants were visualized as emergent swarms of text, and incorporated a soundscape of vocalizations from Andreyev's dog, Tom.

The visuals are accompanied by a soundscape constructed from studio recordings of Tom's voice and car engine sounds to create connotative rhythmic and harmonic modes.

The research generated new methods and techniques for working creatively with trees and forest ecologies resulting in media and sound art creations as well as workshops.
