August Black is a hybrid practitioner of art, design, and engineering that critically engages with techno-social systems in playful and evocative ways. He creates software, systems, and spaces through experimental research in the overlapping areas of new formats, network dynamics, and virtual architectures with a focus on audio and transmission. His activities tend to evoke themes of power, migration, play, noise, chance, and operate under methods of collaboration, commons-building, and communal interaction. He’s been a team member of organizations such as the ORF Kunstradio, the Ars Electronica Futurelab, the UCSB Biolmaging Lab, and Cycling ’74 ? the makers of Max/MSP. He’s shown works at places such as Dutch Electronic Arts Festival, Ars Electronica, Wave Farm, and TSONAMI Festival de Arte Sonoro, among others. He holds a Ph.D. in media, arts, and technology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and is currently an assistant professor at Colorado University Boulder in the department of critical media practices.
As the Art Papers Chair, August manages SIGGRAPH’s forum for honoring artistic research while overseeing the submissions process, jury selection, review, acceptance, and final editing of the papers.
