Jessica Reisch is a new media artist, designer, and educator with an MFA in Computer Arts from the School of Visual Arts and a BA in Education Studies from Brown University. She is currently teaching digital design and emerging technology courses at Pratt Institute, New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) and Hostos Community College (CUNY).
Emphasizing rhizomatic networked connections, her soundscapes and immersive installations draw on the use of highly sensitive microphones and microscopes in conjunction with transducer speakers and projections to engage with the surrounding environment with a deepness usually overlooked or under-engaged by humans in the Anthropocene.
Her installations and films have been shown internationally, including at Locust Projects in Miami, FL, The Engine Room International Sound Art Competition in London, UK, SIGGRAPH 2024 in Denver, CO, and the International Symposium on Electronic Arts (ISEA) 2024 in Meanjin (Brisbane), Australia.
