Michael-Jon Mizra

Michael-Jon Mizra (he/him) is a computer musician based in London. Whilst studying music at the University of Leeds (2009) he explored performativity in electronic music and was drawn to the radical implications of the laptop-as-instrument. This led to a career defining interest in how programmatic thinking, data-structure management, and algorithmic modelling can be used to compose and perform. Working at the University of the Arts London as a specialist technician, researcher, and teacher of creative computation, he is an active member of the Live Code London scene, hosting monthly meetups where artists and researchers showcase their latest developments. His work has been performed and displayed at IKLECTIK, Corsica Studios, the London Design Museum, and the Manchester International Festival.

Michael-Jon Mizra is part of Critical Acts – an immersive gathering and a platform for surveying emerging net and digital cultures through performance lectures on Wednesday 9 October.
