Timothy Nohe is an artist and educator engaging traditional and electronic media in daily life and public places. His recent work has been realized in Intermedia works, sound scores for dance, improvisational concert works, and art focused on sustainability.

Nohe is actively committed to collectivist work, and is a member of the International Corporation of Lost Structures, a Sydney-based creative collective, and the Center for Land Use Interpretation, Los Angeles. He is an active member of a number of professional organizations, including: the Society of Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS), the Electronic Music Foundation (EMF), The Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA), and the College Art Association (CAA). He is an Associate of the Centre for Media Arts Innovation at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia.

Nohe was the recipient of a 2006 Fulbright Senior Scholar Award from the Australian - American Fulbright Commission. Three Maryland State Arts Council awards and a Creative Baltimore Award have supported his work in the area of New Genre and Installation/Sculpture. He is an Associate Professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and currently serves as Vice President of the Academic Senate.

Nohe conducted additional field work in August 2009 at Botany Bay, Australia. He recorded shellfish rasping away food from rocks with hydrophones, interviews, and acoustic environments. This new work will be presented with mural scale digital image prints at Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Art Centre in August 2010. This work has been supported with an Australian-American Fulbright Commission Senior Scholar Award, the La Perouse Aboriginal Land Council, and residencies at the Broadhurst Cottage at Hazelhurst.

Sounding Botany Bay, Sounding Gamay
This non-traditional photographic installation is accompanied with an audio composition that explores the human use of Botany Bay, New South Wales, Australia, from the first human settlement to the present. In live concert performances I shape the rich voices and sounds of the Bay into an aural landscape that heightens and contrasts what is, and has been, so that the listener may experience the past and contemporary complexity of this site. Photographs made at locations throughout the Bay document the natural and built environments.
