I am an artist, designer, and musician. I am primarily interested in how sound is represented visually, how images are interpreted sonically, and the application of musical ideas to visual contexts. My techniques often involve sampling, compositing, and hybridization.

As a bass guitarist, composer and/or improviser, I have performed with musicians such as Jack Dishel (Only Son), Regina Spektor, LoVid, Shawn Phillips, Paul Buckmaster, J. Peter Robinson, and the Austin New Music Co-op, in venues from NYC's Town Hall and The Stone, to the American Repertory Theater and the Austin Museum of Digital Art. My art has been shown and performed in Auckland, San Francisco, the Treasure Island Music Festival, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

From 2006-08 I worked as the forensic artist for the Suffolk County Police Department of New York. I trained at the FBI Academy and am available for freelance forensic art work (samples of criminal composites are available upon request). Other clients, collaborators, and employers include Industrial Light & Magic, Esquire, Language In Common, Shen Wei Dance Arts, G. Schirmer, and American Hand Prosthetics.

I am currently based in Oakland, CA and can be contacted at sf {at} shawnfeeney {dot} com.
