Kristine Diekman is a media artist and educator working in responsive media, sound, drawing, documentary and experimental film, and social practice art. Collaborating with scientists and other artists, she co-creates multi-sensory installations that activate tactility, haptics and deep listening as strategies to enhance intersubjective experiences. Her current collaborative projects include biotremology, specifically insect vibration communication, and inclusive environments. Her latest collaborative museum installation focused on the sonification and haptics of stellar data. Recent documentary film projects include water and environmental justice, proposing new frameworks for political ecologies of water in California.

As an educator, she facilitates international workshops in embodied storytelling and physical computing that lead participants through writing, craft, computing, and sound production to create interactive tactile audio interfaces to tell stories. She engages in numerous cultural collectives to bring sound art practices to global communities including The VIBRA Research Network (Europe), Real More Real (US), TreeCreate (AUS), and is the representative for the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology on the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology board.
