GOLAN LEVIN

Golan Levin [USA] is an artist, composer and designer developing
artifacts and experiences which
explore supple new modes of computational expression. His
work has focused on the design of systems for the creation,
manipulation and performance of simultaneous image and sound,
as part of a general examination of communications protocols for individual engagement and non-verbal dialogue.

Golan’s work spans a variety of online, installation and
performance media, and includes such pieces as the Dialtones
Telesymphony (2001), the carefully-choreographed ringing of the audience's own mobile phones.

Levin was granted an Award of
Distinction in the Prix Ars Electronica for his Audiovisual Environment Suite interactive software (2000) and its
accompanying audiovisual performance, Scribble (2000).

Recently, Levin and collaborator Zach Lieberman developed RE:MARK and Hidden Worlds (2002), a pair of permanent installations commissioned by the Ars Electronica Center in Linz, which combine the themes and techniques of augmented reality and speech visualization.

Golan received degrees from the MIT Media Laboratory, where
he studied with John Maeda in the Aesthetics and Computation
Group.
