SIRC_UIT is the joint practice of Katrina Noorbergen and Jan M. Walter.
Operating as a Creative Studio working at the intersections of art, technology, performance and architecture, SIRC_UIT collaborates with artists, musicians, curators and technologists across digital, analog and experimental art forms to explore and redefine our interactions with technology, bridging the gap between traditional art forms and the digital world.

Katrina Noorbergen is a cultural producer, performance curator, and leading arts worker based on Dharug and Gundungurra Land. After a decade-long international career as a touring musician and published songwriter, Katrina returned to Australia in 2015.

She has since worked in pivotal roles at Carriageworks, the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre and Create NSW.
Katrina Noorbergen is the Program Curator for SIRC_UIT, championing experimental performance practices in unconventional spaces, uplifting emerging artists and fostering creative collaboration on the fringes.

Jan M. Walter is a French/German AV and installation artist currently based on Dharug and Gundungurra Land, and the Founder of SIRC_UIT. With a lifelong need to build things from scratch and rethink the utility of what’s at hand, his work operates at the intersection of technological decay and speculative futures.

He creates large-scale, immersive environments using custom-built lighting systems, various electronics, and repurposed infrastructure. His installations are assembled from obsolete machines, construction materials, and discarded tech, echoes of a world accelerating beyond its own utility. Driven by a belief that we are headed for a livable dystopia, his practice embraces the aesthetics of entropy and the beauty of disorder. Influenced by layered maximalism, and a refusal to sanitize complexity, his work channels the absurdity of Moore’s Law and the emotional residue of late-stage capitalism.

SIRC_UIT has and continues to collaborate with a multitude of artists and organisations to deliver boundary-pushing independent programming across Australia and beyond.
