Bob Jarvis creates works integrating music, animation, code, and text. Out of their experimental process emerge themes of intermodality, colour, polyrhythm, flight, ontology, imperfection, and kinaesthetics.
Selected creative output includes Belief System, a 120-channel spatial audio installation touring internationally with Ranters Theatre, and shortlisted for The Blake Art Prize; Luminesce, a live, audio-visual collaboration with vocalist Gian Slater which won The International Visual Music Award in Frankfurt in 2015; and the practice-led research work Aileron One, a world-first integration of performance technology and full-sized aircraft enabling music to be performed via the expressive medium of gliding flight.
Alongside their creative output Bob works as Director of Technology for Melbourne interactive arts company Playable Streets, contributes to open source software projects, lectures at several universities, and consults as a certified trainer in the Max multimedia programming environment.
