KATE DOYLE is a writer and explorer of experimental approaches to form, process, and poetics in creativity and consciousness. She is Assistant Professor of Music in the Department of Arts, Culture & Media at Rutgers University-Newark. Her work centers in understanding art forms and events as models with which to engage self-reflexively in our embodied cognitions. In her creative and contemplative practice, she seeks to resonate an attention to the edges of knowledge and the possibilities of paradox available to our everyday experience.
Kate’s practice moves through disciplinary and institutional domains and invests in the collaborative and conversational. With design theorist Paul Pangaro, she co-organizes #NewMacy, a cybernetic collective dedicating to catalyzing new modes of exchange and systems research. With curator Jo Melvin and Chelsea College, University of the Arts London, Kate investigates the concept and practice of “radical archives.” Her interest in creative archiving and performance is central to her work with the Lucia Dlugoszewski archives, which she helped to develop at the Library of Congress (Washington DC, USA) in 2016.
Kate has been an invited speaker at the Australian National University School of Cybernetics, the Systemic Design Association, the Library of Congress, Carnegie Mellon University Schools for Design and Architecture, Chelsea College, UAL, and the MaerzMusik Festival of the Berliner Festspiele. Recent publications include “Problem as Possibility: A Dialogue About Music and Performance with Lucia Dlugoszewski’s Experimental Notation as Case Study” (co-authored with Agnese Toniutti, Contemporary Music Review, Vol. 42, no. 1), “On Music, Knowing, and Black Boxes” (Cybernetics & Human Knowing, Vol. 30, nos. 1-2), and “Cybernetics, Time, and Infinite Poetry” (Technoetic Arts, Vol. 22, no. 1).
