also known as Zach Liebermann
Zachary Lieberman is an artist, researcher, and educator with a simple goal: to surprise you. In his work, he creates performances and installations that take human gestures as inputs and amplify them in different ways — making drawings come to life, imagining what the voice might look like if we could see it, and transforming people’s silhouettes into music. He has been listed as one of Fast Company’s Most Creative People and his projects have won the Ars Electronica Golden Nica and Design Museum London’s Interactive Design of the Year. His work has also been listed among Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of the Year. He creates artwork by writing software and is a co-creator of openFrameworks , an open source C++ toolkit for creative coding. He also co-founded the School for Poetic Computation and is a professor at MIT’s Media Lab, where he runs the Future Sketches group.
