Douglas Tewksbury is a Canadian interdisciplinary media artist and musician who works with sound, electronics, photo/video, field recordings, and other media. His ongoing body of creative work in recent years has focused on humans’ relationship to the natural world, the climate crisis, in particular.

Douglas’ creative practice consists of composed, experimental, and improvised media works, particularly in his sound studies, where he often works with obsolete, antiqued, and partially functional media and recording technologies. His work commonly incorporates field recordings of intersecting urban and natural environments, and repeating patterns and cycles of tape or film loops that evolve slowly with the passage of time.

He has developed sound and media installations for various museums, galleries, and public spaces, including the Sarasota Art Museum, the City of Hamilton, the Burchfield-Penney Museum, the Inverness County Centre for the Arts, and others. He has released numerous collections of compositions, including 2024’s long-form 4x work Floes: Volumes I-IV (2024; Tridek Records), Brutes and Brutes Remixed (2022/23; Hush Hush Records), Paths (2021; Geertruida Records), and many other singular and collaborative works.

He is based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and is Professor of Media Studies in the Department of Communication and Media Studies at Niagara University in Lewiston, New York, USA where he teaches and researches environmental issues, technology, art, and culture.
