Jason E Geistweidt

Jason E Geistweidt is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Media Study at the University at Buffalo's College of Arts and Sciences. His work intersects electroacoustics, physical computing, and experimental practices with a focus on digitally mediated experiences.

• Education: PhD in Electroacoustic Composition from Queen's University Belfast, MA in Music Technology from University of Limerick, BMusEd from Southwestern University

Geistweidt's creative practice explores intimate encounters through sound art using contact microphone recordings and human voice. His telematic practice interconnects spaces via sensor arrays for ambient sonification/visualization, while generative systems employ natural language processing for text/image recontextualization. Chance operations and experimental processes define his approach, emphasizing audience activation through embodied experiences as described in John Dewey's Art as Experience.

Specialties include sonic arts, networked performance, live electronics, and happenings. He designs digital tools for remote artistic projection and ambient data collection.
