David Donohoe
Biography

I am an artist, designer and musician working with photography, video, sound, artist's books, drawing and writing. My current body of work All positions are partial examines the nature of impermanence in relation to identity and presence. With Peter Maybury and Marie-Pierre Richard I work as Image Text Sound, a collaborative art practice and publishing entity.

Commercially I work in graphic design for print and web, identity development, e-commerce and online strategies and applications for a wide range of clients in the commercial, academic and cultural areas. My consultancy is fee-based and can include contribution at any stage of a project from conceptualisation, development, implementation and launch to broader general advice. I work with regular collaborators Neil Creagh (Fuel), Ciarán Hickey and Alan Davis from a shared studio on Capel Street. Working as four collaborative consultants allows us the flexibility to undertake projects of many scales with dedicated expertise relevant to the particular requirements of the job. I also work with Peter Maybury on design projects for print and web.

I am currently coordinating Rainfear, an improvised music practice, which focuses on the development of visceral emotionally charged electronic music. Peter Maybury currently plays drums/ electronics in Rainfear. With Eamonn Doyle I am working on String Machine, a collaborative music project, seeking to open dialogue between acoustic and digital traditions and practices.

I have released music on 9pt, D1 Recordings, Fällt, Force-inc, Mille-Plateaux and Minimise.
