Miles Thorogood is a creative coder, educator and researcher in the Metacreation Lab at Simon Fraser University. At SFU he is part of a research team exploring the design and development of computationally creative systems, which are systems endowed with behaviours that would be considered creative if done by a human. His specific research models human perception and cognition of sound design and sound art practice to better understand the motivation and intention of creative process. The outcome of which is the development of computational assistive tools for culture and industry. Miles has exhibited interactive, tangible, and sound based works that are best known for the use of generative, AI, and ALife explorations of natural systems.
