Lewis Kaye is a Toronto-based sound artist, media sciences researcher, and educator whose work is animated by a fascination with the interplay between sound, technology and culture.

Often working in collaboration with visual or performance artists, his work has found expression in many forms including media installation, theater, audio CD, 5.1 video and live 2-channel and multichannel performance. Major projects include the curatorial project Hearing Video for Vtape (Toronto, 2018), Crowds ReSpaced (Signalraum Gallery, Munich, 2014) and the McLuhan-themed Through The Vanishing Point (McLuhan in Europe Festival 2011, CONTACT Photography Festival, 2010).
