Beatie Wolfe
”Musical weirdo and visionary" Beatie Wolfe is an artist who has beamed her music into space, been appointed a UN Women role model for innovation and held an acclaimed solo exhibition of her “world first” album designs at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
Named by WIRED Magazine as one of "22 people changing the world,” singer-songwriter and innovator Beatie Wolfe is at the forefront of pioneering new formats for music that bridge the physical and digital, which include a 3D theatre for the palm of your hand, a wearable record jacket cut by Bowie/Hendrix’s tailor out of fabric woven with Wolfe’s music and most recently, an “anti-stream” from the quietest room on earth and a space beam transmitted via the Big Bang horn with Nobel Laureate Robert Wilson. Wolfe is also the co-founder of a “profound” (The Times) research project looking at the therapeutic power of music for people living with dementia.
The Barbican recently commissioned a documentary about Beatie Wolfe's pioneering work titled Orange Juice for the Ears: From Space Beams to Anti-Streams. Wolfe's latest innovation is an environmental protest piece built using 800,000 years of historic data that will premiere at the London Design Biennale in 2021.
