AIDAN BOYLE (Ph.D., M.PHIL.)

College Ring 7, 28759 Bremen OVERVIEW Dr. Aidan Boyle is a scientist, new media artist and composer. He explores innovative ways of using new media to create novel Reactive Environments. He uses interactivity as a medium to explore the blurring boundaries between art and science. His research involves real-time sonification and visualisation of dance performance. His research on experimental transdisciplinary artistic production incorporates emerging media, algorithmic methods, visuals, sound design, and the use of the computer as co-performer. Through his scientific background he manipulates sound and light, mutating them through movement into electroacoustic music and visual art. His work explores the emotion that is experienced through mixing interactive visual and sonoric media in contemporary dance performance. Through his experimentation he is pioneering both performance art and sound design and has exhibited and performed in Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Germany, Spain and Brazil. In 2011, one of his works was shortlisted for the Kultur und Kreativpiloten - a German nationwide competition for entrepreneurs. He lectures in Art & Technology to provide students with the theoretical and technical background, and practical experience in the conceptualization and production of collaborative, multi-disciplinary artworks. He is currently a lecturer at Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany. EDUCATION
