People: Daniel Jones

Daniel Jones is an artist, composer and software engineer who creates generative audio-visual works based on biological phenomena. Part of a body of research towards a PhD in complex systems dynamic, his interdisciplinary work with simulation and visualisation bridges the gap between the domains of art and science, serving to illuminate each in a new light.

Previous works include AtomSwarm (2006), a musical performance system using swarm dynamics; Map of a Micro-Community (2007), which depicts the growth and fluctuations of an online community; and Subtext (2008), a site-specific installation which translates the underlying signals of network traffic into a set of human-readable hieroglyphics, commissioned by SoundNetwork for Futuresonic08. He co-ordinated and developed the technical infrastructure for The Fragmented Orchestra, winner of the prestigious PRS Foundation New Music Award 2008.
