Person
Jon McCormack ist ein australischer Medienkünstler und Computerwissenschaftler. Er hält mehrere akademische Grade in Angewandter Mathematik und Computerwissenachaft an der Monash University, ein Diplom in Kunst (Film und TV) an der Swinburne University und einen PhD in Computerwissenachaft an der Monash University.
Er ist gegenwärtig außerordentlicher Professor in Computerwissenachaft, besitzt ein Forschungsstipendiat (ARC Australian Research Fellow) und ist
He is currently Associate Professor in Computer Science, an ARC Australian Research Fellow and co-director of the Centre for Electronic Media Art (CEMA) at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. CEMA is an interdisciplinary research centre established to explore new collaborative relationships between computing and the arts.
Seine Forschungsinteressen erstrecken sich von Generativer Kunst und Design, Kreativität, Visualisierung und Interaktion bis zu Maschinellem Lernen, L-Systeme und Entwicklungsmodellen.
Since the late 1980s McCormack has worked with computer code as a medium for creative expression. Inspired by the complexity and wonder of a diminishing natural world, his work is concerned with electronic “after natures” – alternate forms of artificial life that may one day replace the biological nature lost through human progress and development.
His artworks have been widely exhibited at leading galleries, museums and symposia, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York, USA), Tate Gallery (Liverpool, UK), ACM SIGGRAPH (USA), Prix Ars Electronica (Austria) and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (Australia).
He is the recipient of 16 awards for new media art and computing research including prizes at Ars Electronica (Austria), Images du Futur (Canada), New Voices, New Visions (USA), Alias/Wavefront (USA), The John Lansdown Award for Interactive Media (Europe/UK), Nagoya Biennial (Japan) and the 2012 Eureka Prize for Innovation in Computer Science.
The monograph, Impossible Nature: the art of Jon McCormack, was published by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in 2005 and documents McCormack’s creative achievements over the last 15 years.
