Jon Mccormack

Professor Jon McCormack works at the nexus of art, technology and society. His experimental
practice is driven by an enduring interest in computing and incorporates generative art, sound,
evolutionary systems, computer creativity, physical computing, artificial intelligence and
machine learning.

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
and Asia), Prix Ars Electronica (Austria) and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image
(Australia). He is the recipient of 18 awards for new media art and computer science research
including prizes at Ars Electronica (Austria), Nagoya Biennial (Japan), the 2012 Eureka Prize for
Innovation in Computer Science and the 2016 Lumen Prize for digital art (still images). He is
currently undertaking a Future Fellowship, funded by the Australian Research Council, that
investigates new models for the generative design of digitally fabricated materials.
Professor McCormack is also the founder and director of SensiLab, a trans-disciplinary research
space dedicated to the future of creative technology at Monash University in Melbourne,
Australia. SensiLab’s collective research explores the untapped potential of technology, its
impacts on society and the new possibilities it enables. Its dedicated research space – which
opened in late 2017 – encourages enthusiasm, curiosity, seamless collaboration and unrestricted
experimentation.
