About
The Background
​
Kris Cirkuit is an artist based in Edinburgh working with code, sound, and generative systems. The practice explores uncertainty, repetition, and the spaces where technological systems attempt to organise experience but never fully resolve it.
​
The work often takes the form of installations, audiovisual systems, and durational pieces that unfold over time rather than presenting a fixed outcome. Much of it is concerned with attention, perception, and the emotional residue left behind by digital processes.
Systems are treated less as tools for efficiency and more as materials to be observed, tested, and occasionally mistrusted.
The practice developed from a background in computational art and sound engineering, bringing together technical precision and an interest in atmosphere, timing, and listening. Collaboration plays an important role, particularly in contexts where engineering, infrastructure, and artistic intuition intersect.
​
Rather than offering solutions, the work creates conditions. It invites pause, ambiguity, and close attention, allowing meaning to emerge through sustained engagement rather than instruction.

Collaborations
Rachel M. Jardin
"Kris is a personable creative coder who acts of utmost professionalism in the whole duration of the project I hired her in. She takes initiative in suggesting ideas to further improve the visual stimuli that I asked to be coded. Furthermore, she is prompt in all online meetings and deadlines. As a person who is new to p5.js, she was nice enough to also send me a tutorial video on how to run the code on the project website!"

"I've been lucky to work with Kris on two major soundscape commissions for gallery-based site specific installations.
In each instance, I provided Kris with a creative brief, a timeline and budget, which we discussed and agreed together. Kris's experience and professionalism made the process really easy.
Everything was completed on time, and communication throughout was clear and easy. They were professional, reliable, and really understood what the project needed.
Kris delivered highly thoughtful and well-crafted soundscapes that not only perfectly captured the atmosphere I was hoping for, but added rich creative layers that really enhanced the work.
Collaborating with Kris is always inspiring, productive and enjoyable. I’d be more than happy to work with them again.”
Rowan Alba
"“I had the privilege of working with Kris on a sound recording project for a charity in 2024/25. The project required us to record and produce personal statements from people who had, in some cases, experienced a recent bereavement. This meant the Kris needed to bring a human and sensitive approach to the work alongside technical expertise. Kris was a supportive and highly capable professional throughout all stages of the project from making recommendations for the equipment, right through to the final edits.”
