Jakob Thorkild Overgaard is an artist and composer working with sound, improvisation, electronics, composition, writing and visual research.
His practice explores how observations of the world can be translated into sound and artistic experience, with a particular interest in the relationships between technology, perception and lived experience.
His current long-term project, Complexio Oppositorum (2020–2030), investigates the increasingly intertwined realities of digital culture and everyday life.
