Linda O’Keeffe is a sound artist, scholar, and Chair of the Department of Art at Stony Brook University. Her interdisciplinary practice explores listening as a method for sensing and responding to environmental and social change, often through sculptural sound installations, field recording, and community-based engagement. She is co-PI on a two-year climate justice project funded by the Stony Brook Climate Seed Fund, which brings together artists, scientists, and local organizations to investigate environmental racism and ecological transformation on Long Island. Her recent work has been exhibited and supported internationally, and she is also founder of the Women in Sound Women on Sound (WISWOS) platform and co-lead of the Non Random Collective. During her residency, she will begin translating community recordings and sensor data into a new body of sonic and sculptural work.
