Brian first came to my attention with the “Data Driven DJ” project which is an amazing set of 10 tracks of various “experiments” in tunes made from data sonification techniques. He is an artist and computer scientist living and working in New York City. He is a data visualization artist at the American Museum of Natural History, where he communicate scientific data and research through interactive digital and physical exhibits. In his personal work he combines music, data, and algorithms as the Data-Driven DJ.
