MILES THOROGOOD BIO

Miles Thorogood is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in the design and 
development of adaptive and interactive artwork systems. Employing 
generative algorithms in the creation of sound and graphics, along with 
electronics and traditional media, these systems explore convergences 
between the body, environments and technology.

His current research interests include artificial intelligence and semantic 
representations of media in the broader context of understanding creativity. 
As a PhD student at SFU School of Interactive Art and Technology, his 
research is concentrating toward the development of creative computational 
systems for exploring soundscapes. Specifically, Miles is investigating 
system design for autonomous management of online soundscape archives with 
natural language processing, and models for representation of environmental 
sound. His research interests include abstracted representations of creative 
processes, systems design, and the creative application of artificial 
intelligence systems.

LOCATION

SFU downtown in the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts at 149 West Hastings street 
in room 3420, the third floor electroacoustic studio. There's great tech 
available here and more space than in my apartment. But food and drink are 
not permitted in the studio. After Miles's talk and the discussion, let's 
head out to a nearby place.
