Mike Grierson is an experimental artist, musician, film maker and researcher specialising in the field of real-time audiovisual composition, installation and performance. Drawing on the rich history of experimental film and sonic art, he fuses technical and artistic approaches to produce a combined contemporary audiovisual experience. Working with his own software, Grierson employs techniques from artificial intelligence, chaos theory, neuroscience and psychology to explore reactive audiovisual feedback systems, creating experimental musical film experiences that continually evolve and respond to the performer, reflecting and affecting the environment.
In addition to working as an artist and researcher, he has extensive experience in the creative industries as an engineer, editor, composer, cameraman, sound designer, consultant and computer artist. His work has led to several high profile commissions, including title design and digital audiovisual installations for the hit TV show Derren Brown: Trick of the Mind. Grierson is currently working on cognitive and structural approaches to contemporary computer aided audiovisual composition as part of a three year AHRC funded research project at Goldsmiths College Electronic Music Studio.
