Robert B. LISEK is an artist and mathematician who focuses on systems
and processes (computational, biological, social). He is involved in the number of
projects focused on radical art strategies, hacktivism and tactical media. Drawing
upon conceptual art, software art and meta-media, his work intentionally defies
categorization. Lisek is a pioneer of art based on AI and bioinformatics. Lisek is
also a composer of contemporary music, author of many projects and scores on the
intersection of spectral, stochastic, concrete music, musica futurista and noise. He
also explores the relationship between bio-molecular technology, code and issues
arising from network technologies by combining his DNA code with codes of viruses
and recently by testing influence of radioactive materials on biological entities.
Lisek is also a scientist who conducts research in the area of theory of partially
ordered sets in relation with artificial general intelligence and complexity theory.
