*Golan Levin:*

Golan Levin is concerned with reclaiming computation as a medium of
personal inquiry and cultural innovation. He teaches "studio art courses in
computer science," on themes like interactive art, generative form, digital
fabrication, information visualization, gestural robotics, and audiovisual
performance. Levin has particular expertise in the application of computer
vision, signal processing, and statistical data mining techniques to
problems in interaction design, visualization and user experience.

Levin is Associate Professor of Computation Arts at Carnegie Mellon
University, where he also holds courtesy appointments in the School of
Computer Science and the School of Design. Levin is also Director of CMU's
Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, a laboratory for atypical and
anti-disciplinary research across the arts, science, technology and
culture. A two-time TED speaker and recipient of undergraduate and graduate
degrees from the MIT Media Laboratory, Levin was named one of "50 Designers
Shaping the Future" by Fast Company magazine in October 2012. Golan has
spent half his life as an artist embedded within technological research
environments, in places like the MIT Media Laboratory, the Ars Electronica
Futurelab, and the former Interval Research Corporation in Palo Alto.
