Jeff Thompson is a multimedia artist including sculpture, video, music
and performance. He is living and working in New York. Thompson will use his
fellowship to realize a series of systematically evolving sculptural and sound
pieces using Max/MSP and Jitter. Utilizing natural sounds derived from the growth of
plants, the position of butterflies in an aviary and chirping crickets, he will
digitally process the sound into data and re-feed the sound back into the space
creating and ever evolving loop. Thompson has received his MFA at Rutgers University
and has completed the Harvestworks Max/MSP Certification Program. He has collections
in US and Ireland and has lectured in Dallas. His work has received a VanDerlip
Travel award and has received several artist-in-residencies. He has performed and
exhibited his work in Italy, US, Argentina, Poland and Palestine.
