Dans Sound Arts Now, un ouvrage publié cette année qui propose une vue d'ensemble de la discipline, elle est la seule interviewée dont le travail demeure largement basé sur le son. Ses installations sonores in situ sont ludiques et surprénantes, qu'elles prennent place dans un centre commercial moderne, une tour du 18e siècle ou un ancien camp de femmes pour la paix.

En Sound Arts Now, un libro publicado este año sobre el estado de la disciplina, Devine es la única entrevistada cuyo trabajo está mayoritariamente basado en sonido. Sus instalaciones sonoras creadas para lugares específicos son lúdicas y sorprendentes, ya sean en un moderno centro comercial, en una torre del siglo XVIII, o en un ex campamento de mujeres pacifistas.

In Sound Arts Now, an overview of the state of the artform published this year, she's the only interviewee whose work remains largely sound-based. Her site-specific sound installations are playful and unexpected, whether in a modern shopping center or an 18th century tower, a former women's peace camp or Bletchley Park.

• François K

  (born 1954, French, lives in New York) has been pushing the boundaries of sound since 1975 when he started as a dj at Studio 54, the Paradise Garage and The Loft. A few years later, after an influential role with Prelude Records and remixing tracks for Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Yoko Ono, Diana Ross and many more he was again at the cutting edge as one of the originators of House music. His Deep Space club nights, running since 2003, promote dub as 'a groundbreaking conceptual art form equal in significance to other giant aesthetic leaps such as Cubism or jazz'. With an affinity for science fiction and new technology, he's now exploring what AI can do for sound and is again ahead of his time.

• Theo Altenberg

  (Allemand, né en 1952, basé à Berlin) est poète, peintre, interprète, photographe et cinéaste, mais esprit libre avant tout. Son engagement dans l'Actionnisme viennois l'a catapulté dans le monde de l'art de la performance et lui a permis de rencontrer Joseph Beuys, avec qui il travaillera plus tard, Harald Szeemann et bien d'autres. Sa quête pour faire fusionner l'art et la vie dans un processus permanent de conscience s'est également poursuivie à travers des œuvres linguistiques, une sorte de poésie traumatique, des peintures liquides élaborées sans outils ou musique électronique.

  (nacido en 1952, alemán, vive en Berlín) es un poeta, pintor, actor, fotógrafo, cineasta y un espíritu libre. Su participación en el accionismo vienés lo lanzó al mundo de las artes escénicas y lo hizo conocer a Joseph Beuys, con quien trabajaría más tarde, y a Harald Szeemann. Su búsqueda por fusiomar arte y vida en un proceso permanente de conciencia continuó a través de su trabajo con el lenguaje -una especie de poesía traumática, pinturas líquidas hechas sin herramientas, y la música electrónica.

  (born 1952, German, lives in Berlin) is a poet, a painter, a performer, a photographer, a film maker and a free spirit. His involvement with Viennese Actionism threw him into the world of performance art and introduced him to Joseph Beuys, who he would later work with, Harald Szeemann and others. His search to merge art and life in a permanent process of consciousness continued through language works - a kind of trauma poetry - distinctive liquid paintings made without tools and electronic music.
