Alison Childs is a video artist and graphic designer living in Berlin.

After studying Graphic Design at RISD, Alison maintained tenures at Gyro Worldwide, Razorfish, her own design firm, AC/AC, and various tech and advertising conglomerates. In 2002 she began experimenting with video and light projection during music events. This environment provided the perfect arena for the exploration of movement and color design within live video.

Her live installations have accompanied internationally renown live acts and DJs such as Juan Atkins, Glass Candy, Special Disco Version, The Juan MacLean, Dam Funk, Cluster, Trans Am, Tussle, and Zombi. Her music videos for independent bands and single-channel video works have been included in international film and video festivals worldwide.

Alison is also producing an independent zombie horror film, Bad Date, co-written and directed with Sadie Shaw. In 2005, she co-founded Donuts! in San Francisco. In 2009, Alison revived the New York-based events series, Galaxie, with Justin Miller, Jacques Renault and Lovefingers. Since moving to Berlin in January 2011, she has taken on a design role at SoundCloud and continues to create lighting installations for various events in Berlin.
