Jack Stockholm

Jack Stockholm is a musician, artist, and researcher, currently studying networked audio interaction at Simon Fraser University’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology. His work explores the spontaneous musical invention that occurs in social spaces and how ubiquitous computing and the network can augment the acoustic ecology present in an environment. He has spent the last 15 years developing tools to support network collaboration and communication for both the software industry and media arts. Jack has performed and presented art works at various locations in North and South America and Europe including Vancouver, New York, Sao Paolo and Trieste. His current work focuses on designing an artifical agent which can encourage awareness between audience members and increase engagement by musically amplifing the moods of networked audience members to a generative performance.
