Dr Jonathan Weinel BA Hons, BSc Hons, MRes, PhD, CITP

Jon Weinel is an artist, researcher and educator, whose main expertise is in sound, music and video games. In 2012 he completed his PhD at Keele University, where his research explored psychedelic sounds and visualisations, an area that he continues to investigate through the latest game engine technologies. He has written several books on this subject including Inner Sound: Altered States of Consciousness in Electronic Music and Audio-Visual Media, published by Oxford University Press in 2018.

Creative practice using music, visuals and code is at the centre of his work, and his computer artworks and virtual reality projects have been presented around the world at events ranging from demoparties and VJ gigs to research conferences such as SIGGRAPH Asia in Tokyo. Jon has held research posts in the UK and Denmark, and is actively involved in supporting the next generation of computer art via his ongoing work as an organising member of the British Computer Society EVA London Electronic Visualisation and the Arts conference, and work with the Centre for Sound and Image at University of Greenwich.
