What do “artist-technologists” actually do, and how did they get to where they are? Here we have provided some illustrative examples of ATs – spanning several artistic domains and areas of technology – along with some information about their current and past roles, key products, areas of specialization, and whenever available links to their websites or other relevant online information. This list is meant to be inspirational rather than comprehensive, to illustrate the great diversity across ATs.

All these AT profiles have been “tagged” with respect to artistic domain and technology focus, as well as role/ position. If you click on the right side on the features you are most interested in, you can “filter” AT profiles with only those characteristics.  Or, you can sort the list alphabetically by AT’s last name or by putting key words in the search function.
