Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKat Frsa is an interdisciplinary artist-researcher and Honorary Associate Professor whose 12-year career bridges chemistry, environmental science, and media arts to interrogate climate, water and Arctic issues through sound, installation and participatory practice. Holding a PhD in Chemistry from UCL, she pairs rigorous lab-derived methods—often hacked into DIY instruments that sonify chemical analysis—with community-led citizen science to democratise environmental monitoring. Kat has led accelerator work for ACTION at the Leibniz Institute, driven residencies and fellowships across Europe, and exhibited internationally at institutions from the V&A to Ars Electronica. Based in Seoul, she combines teaching, public engagement and open-source approaches to create research-informed artworks that make invisible pollutants and ecological change perceptible. An unusual mix of analytical chemistry and performance practice gives her work a distinctive materiality and a knack for translating complex science into sensory, civic experiences.
