Creative Turbulence

is interdisciplinary and reflects exceptional breadth. Sreenivasan arrived at NYU after tenures at Yale, where he spent more than 20 years and held multiple endowed professorships and chairmanships; the University of Maryland, where he led the Institute for Physical Science and Technology; and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, where he served as director and held (and continues to hold) the Abdus Salam Professorship. He has also been a visiting professor at Caltech, Cambridge University, Rockefeller University, and the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, among other institutions.

Sreenivasan’s research interests include fluid mechanics and turbulence, nonlinear and nonequilibrium phenomena, cryogenic helium and stellar physics.
He has been elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, U.S. National Academy of Engineering, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Indian Academy of Sciences, Indian National Science Academy, Indian National Academy of Engineering, Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), Accademia dei Lincei in Rome, and African Academy of Sciences, among other such groups, and his many honors include the Guggenheim Fellowship, Otto Laporte Memorial Award and Dwight Nicholson Medal of the American Physical Society, UNESCO Medal for Promoting International Scientific Cooperation and World Peace from the World Heritage Centre, and the Award for Scientific Cooperation of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, etc.

storms and the ocean—and her fascination observing and being in a constant state of motion. Her process is driven by visceral interpretations of a phenomena (scientific, natural, cultural or unknown) through digital and analog processes.

Dana also served as Media Director of Maya Lin’s fifth and final memorial, What is Missing?, providing creative and operational execution on this world-wide, on-going project regarding climate change and endangered species. She continues to be on-going advisor on the memorial.

She is a full-time lecturer of Integrated Digital Media in the Department of Technology, Culture and Society at New York University. Dana has also taught at NYU’s ITP, NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation, and at Harvestworks digital media center in NYC.

Dana’s work has been shown across galleries, museums and festivals including: the Federation of Canadian Artists’ Federation Gallery; The Caracas Contemporary Art Museum; The London Festival of Architecture; The Museum of the Moving Image; The Chelsea Art Museum; Exit Art; and The DUMBO Arts Festival.

Dana holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the School of Architecture, Design, and Planning at the University of Kansas. She has a Masters from The Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.

interested in cryogenic fluid mechanics in classical and quantum fluids, flow visualization, machine learning, fluid dynamics demonstrations and the intersections between art and science.

installation, and music production work with many artists and organizations including Toni Dove, Todd Reynolds, Jamie Jewett, Bora Yoon, Michael Joaquin Grey, Matthew Ritchie, Elliott Sharp, Michael Gordon, Maya Lin, Bang on a Can, Engine 27, Harvestworks, and LEMUR, and was the director of the Princeton Laptop Orchestra for its 2007 season.

Stemming from his investigations of “time-lapse phonography,” his work is a sonic and encyclopedic relative to time-lapse photography. Just as a long camera exposure fuses motion into a single image, his projects reveal the average sonority, visual language, and vocabulary in music, film, text, or cultural information. Exhibitions of his work include: the Insitut Valencià d’Art Modern, Spain; Haus der elektronischen Künste, Switzerland; 2008 Democratic National Convention, Denver; Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis; San Jose Museum of Art; National Constitution Center, Philadelphia; Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art; Daelim Contemporary Art Museum, Seoul; 2007 Sundance Film Festival; the Sydney Film Festival; the Smithsonian American Art Museum; PROSPECT.2 New Orleans; and the Aspen Institute. DuBois’ work and writing has appeared in print and online in the New York Times, National Geographic, and Esquire Magazine, and he was an invited speaker at the 2016 TED Conference. A major survey of his work, NOW, received its premiere at the Ringling Museum of Art in 2014, with a catalogue published by Scala Art & Heritage Publishers.

An active visual and musical collaborator, DuBois is the co-author of Jitter, a software suite for the real-time manipulation of matrix data developed by San Francisco-based software company Cycling’74. He appears on nearly twenty-five albums both individually and as part of the avant-garde electronic group The Freight Elevator Quartet. He currently performs as part of Bioluminescence, a duo with vocalist Lesley Flanigan that explores the modality of the human voice, and in Fair Use, a trio with Zach Layton and Matthew Ostrowski, that looks at our accelerating culture through elecronic performance and remixing of cinema.

DuBois has lived for the last twenty-three years in New York City. He is the director of the Brooklyn Experimental Media Center at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and is on the Board of Directors of the ISSUE Project Room and Eyebeam. His records are available on Caipirinha/Sire, Liquid Sky, C74, and Cantaloupe Music. His artwork is represented by bitforms gallery in New York City.
