PAUL BROWN

Paul Brown is an artist and writer who has specialized in art, science, and technology since the late 1960s and in computational and generative art since the mid-1970s. Early in his career, he created large-scale lighting works for musicians and performance groups like Meredith Monk, Musica Elettronica Viva, and Pink Floyd.

He has since established an international exhibition record and has created both permanent and temporary public artworks. He has work in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum in the UK, the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC, USA, and many other public, corporate, and private collections in Australia, Asia, Europe, Russia, and the USA. During 2000/2001, he was a New Media Arts Fellow of the Australia Council, where he began a 22-year period as artist-in-residence at the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England.

In 2023, he received the ACM / SIGGRAPH Distinguished Artist Award for Lifetime Achievement in Digital Art.

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land where I live and work: the Minjungbal people, the Arakwal people, and the Widjabul people of the Bundjalung Nation. I pay my respects to their elders—past, present, and emerging.
