Harpo 't Hart

Harpo ’t Hart (1985) is a curator, designer, and sound artist. He studied piano at the Utrecht Conservatory, Media Technology at Leiden University, and Sound Studies at the Universität der Künste Berlin. His work questions the way we listen to the world. How should we listen to our rapidly changing environment? A world shaped by climate change, a world in which electronic devices listen to us. This is why Harpo explores the possibilities of music that does not revolve around humans—a concert of things.
He has worked for institutions such as the Ruhrtriennale, Münchner Kammerspiele, and NTGent and teaches at the Directing Program of the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam. Since 2017, Harpo has been involved with the Parliament of Things and the Embassy of the North Sea.
