Lalya Gaye is an award-winning, Swedish-Senegalese-Malian digital media artist and interaction designer based in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. She is the founder and director of Attaya Projects, an internationally-active digital media arts platform. While some of her early work was influential in the fields of locative media and mobile music technology, her current art practice explores notions of belonging, longing for home, migration and connected diasporas by expressing them in the poetic and creative space between the physical and the digital.

She works primarily in public spaces with light, sound, steel, everyday objects, urban space, coding and interactive electronics, creating socially-engaged and engaging experiences for audiences. Her work for KIN will draw on her art, interaction and collaborative practice.
