Madeline Avram Blount works as a technologist, researcher, and an artist. She explores creative interventions through work in code, digital media, performance, and social practice. Recent projects include co-founding a housing justice app, coding music from ant colony simulations in Panama, developing curricula for teaching ethics in scalable computation, and studying intersections between artistic improvisation and complexity science. An avid birder originally from Oregon, Madeline now brings her binoculars with her on the subway in Brooklyn, New York.
