Darsha Hewitt

Darsha Hewitt is a Canadian artist based in Montreal Quebec. Her practice is concerned with how electricity is experienced and perceived in domestic environments. Her artwork consists of electro-mechanical sound installations as well as technical drawings and videos that playfully subvert the "how to" and "step by step" formats prevalent in do-it-yourself (DIY) electronics culture. She has presented her work and taught electronics workshops across Canada in Mexico and Europe. Darsha was recently awarded an international work stipend from The Edith-Ruß-Haus für Medienkunst in Oldenburg Germany.
