Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Geistweidt is an assistant professor and trans-disciplinary artist with 11+ years of experience exploring the intersection of sound art, physical computing, digital fabrication, and creative coding. He builds bespoke tools and experimental workflows—often leveraging open-source hardware and software—to support installation, real-time performance, and research-driven studio practice. At the University at Buffalo he directs the Extensible Media Lab and teaches hands-on new media courses that blend architecture and media study, cultivating collaborations across disciplines. His PhD in Electroacoustic Composition and Digital Arts underpins a scholarly focus on how technologies mediate creative acts, while his practice-driven approach means he both theorizes and materially prototypes artistic systems. An educator and consultant, he maintains active adjunct and visiting roles, bringing a maker’s rigor to academic inquiry and curricula.
