Jesse Gilbert works in sound and software design, creating flexible tools that are activated in live performance, via network interaction, or in installation settings. His work has recently focused on multi-channel immersive environments, composing for the moving image, and real-time electronic music performance using custom sampling software. His engagement with the software design process centers on the deconstruction of rational processes, usually resulting in variable interfaces that emphasize the intuitive, the recursive, and the fluidity of human/computer interaction. Gilbert’s work has been shown widely in the US and abroad; venues include Färgfabriken (Stockholm), Laboral Centro de Arte (Gijón), Engine27 (New York), Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), New Museum (New York), net.congestion (Amsterdam), Ars Electronica (Austria), CEAIT Festival (Los Angeles), Kunstradio’s Recycling the Future (Austria), and PORT (MIT, Boston). His work has received support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Eyebeam Atelier, the National Performance Network, turbulence.org, the Studio for Creative Inquiry (Carnegie Mellon), the Jerome Foundation, Creative Capital, the Markle Foundation, the Beall Center for Art & Technology (UC Irvine), the Banff Centre for the Arts, and the Center for Experiments in Art, Information and Technology (CEAIT).
