Luke DuBois \u2013 Co-Director"},"content":{"rendered":"\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0R. Luke DuBois is a composer, artist, performer, designer, and software engineer who explores the temporal, verbal, and visual structures of cultural and personal ephemera. He holds a doctorate in music composition from Columbia University, and is the co-author of Jitter, a software suite for the real-time manipulation of matrix data developed by San Francisco-based software company Cycling&#8217;74; he is a regular contributor to other toolkits for creative coding, including p5.js and RTCmix. He is the research director of the IDM program at NYU Tandon, and was a founding co-director of the NYU Ability Project. Luke&#8217;s research interests range from inclusive design to cyber-physical systems to telepresent collaboration. He works across many disciplines and has collaborated with NYU faculty in departments ranging from Computer Science to Occupational Therapy, and teaches in a triple appointment between IDM at NYU Tandon and the programs in Music Technology at NYU Steinhardt and ITP\/IMA at NYU Tisch. He is currently a co-investigator on multiple NSF-funded projects, including SONYC, a multi-year investigation around noise pollution in New York City; and the NYU Holodeck, a research platform for investigating what happens when VR, motion capture, and telecommunication infrastructure reach the level of everyday use. Finally, Luke designs, builds, and restores analog and hybrid analog\/digital modular synthesizers in the audio lab, making open-source designs for creative signal processing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lukedubois.com\/\">http:\/\/lukedubois.com\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph-->\r\n<p class=\"text-muted\">(DMA, Columbia University)<br \/>Associate Professor of Integrated Digital Media<br \/>co-Chair, Technology, Culture and Society (Engineering);<br \/>dubois@nyu.edu<br \/>(646) 997 0719<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"container\">\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-sm\">\r\n<p><kbd>TOOLS + MEDIUMS OF PRODUCTION<\/kbd><br \/><small>AR\/VR\/XR,Physical Computing, Creative Coding, Audio \/ Sound \/ Music, Signal Processing, Media Art, Motion Capture, Performance, User Experience<\/small><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-sm\">\r\n<p><kbd>METHODS + APPROACHES<\/kbd><br \/><small> User-Centered Design, Data Visualization \/ Data-Driven Investigation, Art History, Digital Humanities, Critical Design, Citizen Science, Algorithmic Design<\/small><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-sm\">\r\n<p><kbd>TOPICS + THEMES<\/kbd><br \/><small> User Experience, Civic Technology \/ Service Design, Assistive Technology, Social Justice, Human Computer Interaction, Education, Accessibility, Systems Design<\/small><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<!-- \r\n<p>Stemming from his investigations of \u201ctime-lapse phonography,\u201d his work is a sonic and encyclopedic relative to time-lapse photography. Just as a long camera exposure fuses motion into a single image, his projects reveal the average sonority, visual language, and vocabulary in music, film, text, or cultural information. Exhibitions of his work include: the Insitut Valenci\u00e0 d\u2019Art Modern, Spain; Haus der elektronischen K\u00fcnste, Switzerland; 2008 Democratic National Convention, Denver; Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis; San Jose Museum of Art; National Constitution Center, Philadelphia; Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art; Daelim Contemporary Art Museum, Seoul; 2007 Sundance Film Festival; the Sydney Film Festival; the Smithsonian American Art Museum; PROSPECT.2 New Orleans; and the Aspen Institute. DuBois\u2019 work and writing has appeared in print and online in the New York Times, National Geographic, and Esquire Magazine, and he was an invited speaker at the 2016 TED Conference. A major survey of his work, NOW, received its premiere at the Ringling Museum of Art in 2014, with a catalogue published by Scala Art &amp; Heritage Publishers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>An active visual and musical collaborator, DuBois is the co-author of Jitter, a software suite for the real-time manipulation of matrix data developed by San Francisco-based software company Cycling\u201974. He appears on nearly twenty-five albums both individually and as part of the avant-garde electronic group The Freight Elevator Quartet. He currently performs as part of Bioluminescence, a duo with vocalist Lesley Flanigan that explores the modality of the human voice, and in Fair Use, a trio with Zach Layton and Matthew Ostrowski, that looks at our accelerating culture through electronic performance and remixing of cinema.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>DuBois has lived for the last twenty-seven years in New York City. He is the director of the Brooklyn Experimental Media Center at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and is on the Board of Directors of the ISSUE Project Room and Eyebeam. His records are available on Caipirinha\/Sire, Liquid Sky, C74, and Cantaloupe Music. His artwork is represented by bitforms gallery in New York City.<\/p>\r\n -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0R.
