--- title: jonathan.is --- a [hacker](images/me.jpg) of Computational Machinations, Digital Arts and Electronic Sounds, hailing from Brooklyn I am a programmer who likes to connect random inputs and outputs to see what people will do with them. I often take virtual streams and provide them physical facilities to exaggerate their impact on our lives. I am equally uncomfortable coding in C, C++, Rust, Javascript, Typescript, Coffeescript, Python, Piet, Basic, Hypercard, and Bash. I painted a simple [echo program](images/piet.png) and could very easily see myself holed up for the winter just with canvas and wine. Some communities I'm a part of and love include [the school for poetic computation](//sfpc.io), [~~hacker school~~ recurse center](//recurse.com), [woodbine](//woodbine.nyc), [arthackday](//arthackday.net), [the medialab at the met](//www.metmuseum.org/about-the-museum/museum-departments/office-of-the-director/digital-media-department/digital-underground/posts/2013/introducing-the-media-lab), and [itp camp](//itp.nyu.edu/camp/).
