	Katherine Rae Diemert (k.d.rae) is a visual artist based out of Halifax, Canada. She makes art exploring our relationship to the natural world, how our messages change within the digital world, and more. 

Previously, Katherine was a board member at Factory Media Centre, an adjunct professor at Sheridan College’s BA Illustration program, and alumni of the School for Poetic Computation. She recently completed a Masters of Fine Arts at NSCAD University.You can reach her at kdiemert@gmail.com.
	

	Artist Statement
I am an artist from Hamilton, Ontario, currently based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, making visual and interactive mixed media work inspired by natural forms and artificial processes. I studied Illustration at Sheridan College (BA, Honors, 2015), later working in the interactive digital media industry. In 2019 I completed an intensive eleven-week program at the School for Poetic Computation in New York, a hybrid residency/school/research program. While there I learned programming and physical computing with a focus on creative applications, while also examining technology from a socially and culturally critical perspective. I was artist in residence at the Factory Media Centre in Spring 2020 and later joined their board of directors. In 2025 I completed a Masters of Fine Arts at NSCAD University, continuing my research about technology and its relationship with nature.In my artistic practice I create visual and interactive multimedia works, using methods of transformation to engage in dialogue with the natural world. My work explores experiences of environmental phenomena and objects through subject and material, investigating notions of real versus virtual and natural versus artificial.

I often begin with my experience of a space or object, then transform my subject through movement between digital and physical media in 2D and 3D spaces. Winter 2021 reflects my experience of quarantine, when I began taking daily walks through nearby forests. The player is confined to the space within the building frame, despite being able to see beyond, using the video game convention of ‘invisible walls’. In Untitled (Window), footage of a blue sky was projected onto a moving piece of fabric and filmed then re-projected, in a repeating process. The physical installation was then recreated in a virtual environment, incorporating the ‘real’ footage on simulated cloth. Both installation and simulation imitate yet obscure the ‘real’ scene, with each new layer further distorting boundaries of interior and exterior space.
In A rolling stone gathering moss, I attempted to document a real rock, first using photogrammetry, then digital simulations, paintings, and paper forms. Each translation leaves traces of the process in glitches and compression artifacts. Using augmented reality, I juxtapose these imitations with the actual stone, whose inherent qualities could not be captured by seemingly high-fidelity technology. The artifacts of this transformative methodology were curated in a digital show, which scales up the rock’s body to be the ‘gallery’ the player steps into. 
In my installation works, I bring these digital artifacts into physical space through video projection onto lenses, water or mirrors that reflect the light and animate imagery in unpredictable ways. Water as a Gift is a multimedia portrait of a watershed, illustrating the effects of local townships' water-usage through mechanisms that create ripples across the mirrored map of the region, disturbing the video projection of scenes from the river. I am influenced by Ann Hamilton’s site-responsive work which engages viewers in multi-layered, sensorial interactions as in her piece, Event of a Thread. Additionally, Yeseul Song’s poetic and graceful incorporation of electronics in her Invisible Sculptures series, which uses audio, warmth, and smell to describe an invisible form. 
Through my practice I explore how virtual imitations of real world phenomena change our perception of them. The natural objects in my work are personified, as in environmental personhood and Indigenous traditions. Rather than viewing these objects as resources to use, perceiving them as beings changes how I interact with them in my local environment; “to behold is to become beholden to.” (Odell, J. 2019) My work creates opportunities for audiences to consider an experience outside of our human one, whether that is the brevity of a cut flower’s lifetime or longevity of a weathered rock. I hope that by transforming our perception of them, we can change our relationship with them, as “it is human perception that makes the world a gift.” (Kimmerer, R. 2020)

	Net Works explores the entangled relationship of media and nature through sculpture, installation and interactive digital media, transforming the Internet into a trap for the viewer. Underwater data cables that support the Internet weave through oceans unseen, mirroring the same pathways that the unknowable eel travels along. Through electromagnetic listening and data sniffing, this body of work imagines these local shoreline sites through the perspective of the eel and the cable, considering how both are ecologically entwined, along with our own relationship to media and nature.

Developed with support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).

	The form of this piece is based on a fishing trap used in streams called a fyke net (Dutch for fish). Fyke nets work by directing creatures swimming with the current into a chamber which funnels them into a smaller 'pot' that is closed at one end. They are popular for catching young glass eels. On the transclucent wings are projected videos coming from a computer program using the Processing library Carnivore, a surveillance tool for networks. In this case, Carnivore is reading all the data being sent and received from a computer in the gallery as it ambiently performs routine checks and updates. The IP addresses of these senders and the host computer are plotted as eel eggs on the screen, imposed over the satellite view of Halifax's underwater data cable receiving station, located out in Herring Cove.

Glass eel plastic modelled shells, speakers, two channel audio (electromagnetic + hydrophone field recordings)10 min looping audio, 6 in. diam. speakers

	This work presents two audio recordings taken from different recording devices, presented in two speakers that visitors can pick up and listen to. One uses a hydrophone, submerged in a stream of running water, and the other plays a recording from an electromagnetic microphone that translates oscillations in the electromagnetic field into audible sound that was taken walking through Halifax towards the water. Our electronic devices, such as computers or underwater data cables, interact with and affect the electromagnetic field. Eels (and other creatures) are able to perceive the Earth’s electromagnetic field and use it to navigate while migrating through the Oceans.

	Currents (Battery)
Winter 2025
Saltwater, copper, aluminum, wires, jars, light emitting diode, tower4 x 4' diam. approx.,10 min Looping Video

Filed under PROJECTION, INSTALLATION, VIDEO


	Currents is a battery made of saltwater, copper and aluminum that powers a small tower. When the electrodes in each jar are submerged in saltwater, the aluminum loses electrons to the copper, which creates a very small electrical charge. By connecting the jars in series we increase the combined voltage, and the result is enough to power a small light. Over the course of the exhibition, this piece changes: the saltwater slowly begins to evaporate, the aluminum electrodes begin to break down and flake apart, and the copper electrodes build up a layer of oxidization, turning different shades of blue depending on the salt and acidity of the seawater. There is a lifetime to the battery; eventually the connections may fail, or the water dry up so much that it ceases to connect the two electrodes. It only takes one failed connection to interrupt the circuit, and stop the light from turning on.
