Time + Venue >>
Jeff Crouse creates software and installations
that highlight the absurdity of technology in culture. Along with
Andrew Mahon and Steve Lambert, he recently launched ABSML
(commissioned by Turbulence.org). ABSML is a
new markup language that enables the creation of complex sentence
formulas for 21st century automatic writing. Jeff’s previous
work includes YouThreebe, a YouTube triptych creator;
Invisible Threads, a virtual jeans factory in Second
Life; and James Chimpton, a robotic monkey that interviewed
the artists of the 2008 Whitney Biennial. He is currently developing
BoozBot, a bar tending robot / puppet; and DeleteCity,
a Wordpress plug-in that finds and republishes content that has
been taken down from sites such as Flickr and YouTube. His work
has been shown at the Sundance Film Festival, the Futuresonic
festival in Manchester, UK, the DC FilmFest, and the Come Out
and Play Festival in Amsterdam.
Jeff received his MS from the Digital Media program at Georgia
Tech in 2006 and then joined Eyebeam as a production fellow in
2007. He is currently a Senior Fellow at Eyebeam, an adjunct professor
at the IMA program at Hunter College, and a freelance programmer.
Someday, he plans to add “novelist” or “short
story author” to that list.
