Bart Bridger Woodstrup (1973) is exploring processes for the conversion of data from the meteorological spectrum into sound and image. He is especially intrigued by weather modification techniques that mitigate adverse climatological events. This work is an investigation into the relationship between environmental issues and new technology with an emphasis upon the cultural integration of these tools and their use for ecological stewardship.

His goals are to understand and manipulate the aesthetics, semiotics, and narratives of various time-based media. This research takes the form of traditional musical composition, real-time interactive audio/video performance, multimedia installation and networked experience.

Woodstrup regularly performs live as "vodstrup,” and was a founding member of Pauline Oliveros' improvisational telepresence ensemble Tintinnabulate. He enjoys hacking solar powered LED lawn lamps, dreaming of ways to carbon-neutrally power his plethora of electronic gadgets, and taking long walks with his pet, Rutt Etra.
