Alex Christie is an intermedia artist, composer, and educator whose work investigates the agency of nonhuman actors and the collision of creative media. Their pieces blur the distinctions between dynamic lighting systems, musical compositions, and new electronic music instruments.

Recently, Christie has been exploring the hidden artistic potentials of dated technological bodies—cassette players, CRT televisions, radios, magnetic tape, cheap or broken guitar pedals—and how these bodies can be connected to produce unanticipated interaction. He hopes that working in this manner can develop ways of understanding the world that embrace different modes of being and contemplate the mortality of all things.

Christie is the Technical Coordinator for the Composition and Computer Technologies program at the University of Virginia and the Chief Spiritual Officer for the, kind-of-but-not-really record label Moon Landing Media. They hold a BM from the Oberlin Conservatory in Composition and Technology in Music And Related Arts (TIMARA), an MFA from Mills College in Electronic Music & Recording Media, and a PhD from the University of Virginia in Composition & Computer Technologies (CCT).
