David Cecchetto holds the degree of M.Mus.(Composition) and is currently pursuing an Interdisciplinary Ph.D. in the Cultural, Social, and Political Thought program at the University of Victoria. David’s research, which explores dominant strains of posthuman subjectivities in the context of sound-based new media art, has been published in Canada, the United States, and Europe. David co-edited (and contributed to) the collection Collision: Interarts Practice and Research (Cambridge Scholars Press, 2008), which is available for purchase here.

As an artist, David’s work has spanned a variety of forms and media ranging from sound installation to performance art to composed music for orchestra, soloists, and ensembles. David’s work often uses incongruence, disjunction, and strangeness as tactics towards identifying and exploiting assumed notions of universality, privilege, and knowledge. Digital technologies are regularly featured prominently in David's work, where they are typically turned back on themselves through deconstructive gestures. David has presented his work in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Russia.

David is also co-creator of www.conflations.com, to which he also contributes.
