Ollie Bown is a researcher and creator working in multiplicitous media, computational creativity and digital music, and above all a creative coding enthusiast. He comes from a highly diverse academic background touching on social anthropology, evolutionary and adaptive systems, music technology and interaction design. He has also been a practicing electronic musician and digital artist for over 15 years. He is interested in how artists, designers and musicians can use new computing technologies to produce novel and complex creative works, particularly through generative and computationally creative systems, and also in the context of ubiquitous computing. Following a bachelors in mathematics and social anthropology at the University of Cambridge and a masters in evolutionary and adaptive systems at the University of Sussex, he undertook a PhD looking at simulation models of the evolution of human musical behaviour at the Intelligent Sound and Music Systems group, Goldsmiths College, London. In 2008 he moved to Australia, working first at the Centre for Electronic Media Art in Melbourne, then at Sydney University’s Design Lab, where he held a postdoctoral fellowship. He is now senior lecturer at UNSW’s Faculty of Art & Design. He makes music in the groups Icarus and Tangents, and is a member of the media arts collective Squidsoup. He has worked with artists such as Aphex Twin and Four Tet.
