Nikki Lindt’s work begins with listening- to subterranean environments and to the people who hold knowledge of them. Working in dialogue with scientists, Indigenous Elders, local communities and exhibition visitors, she translates field recordings into paintings, films, soundwalks and participatory installation.

Subterranean Voice
An evolving body of work that begins with recordings made beneath Arctic and sub-Arctic landscapes. Developed through exchanges with scientists, Indigenous Elders and local communities, these sounds become paintings, films, soundwalks and participatory installations.
The Underground Sound Project is a collection of subterranean acoustic recordings over the course of a year. They were made in Prospect Park, other natural areas within the five boroughs of NYC and in rural Cherry Valley, NY. The recordings are made by placing microphones underground, underwater and even inside trees.
