Ben SwiftCurriculum Vitae

Note: the canonical version of this page is the web version hosted at https://benswift.me/cv/.

I am an internationally-recognised interdisciplinary scholar, electronic/computer music artist and creative technologist. I’m an expert in AI/machine learning, computational art & music, computing education, user experience (UX) design, and cybernetics.

I lead the Cybernetic Studio at the School of Cybernetics at the Australian National University: a cybernetic community that makes things out of hardware/software/people/stuff to explore cybernetic systems and their impact on the world.

As a livecoding artist I have performed at international arts festivals, including the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA) and the International Conference on Live Coding (ICLC). I’m the Vice President of the Australasian Computer Music Association (ACMA). I am also a founder and co-director of the ANU Laptop Ensemble, an interdisciplinary computer music research and teaching collective.

I am a maker of open-source software tools for music, creative code, generative AI, data analysis/visualisation, and more. I’m one half of the core development team for the Extempore programming environment for musical livecoding. Extempore’s users are a worldwide community of programmers, artists, musicians, and data visualisation practitioners. I have more than 15 years’ experience as an OSS community manager, technical writer, software engineer and creative code outreach ambassador.

Previous courses

In addition to my role leading the Cybernetic Studio I am currently teaching into the Executive Short Courses on AI at the School of Cybernetics.

I was previously the course convenor & lecturer for the following courses in the ANU School of Computing (follow links to the curriculum, available under a Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-SA licence):

COMP2710: Laptop Ensemble is a course open to students in computer science, music, art, and elsewhere at ANU (the course is co-taught with MUSI2205 in the ANU School of Music). In this course students learn fundamental skills of music computing, including digital synthesis, algorithmic composition, and musical interface design, putting these skills to use creating a computer musical instrument, composition, or interactive media work to present in concert at the end of the course.
COMP1720: Art & Interaction in New Media is a course about learning to tell stories through interactive code art. It’s not just an art course, and it’s not just a “coding” course: students engage with both of those domains at the same time, and (I hope) have a lot of fun in the process. No previous coding or artistic experience is required: COMP1720 teaches everything from the ground up.
EXTN1019: ANU Extension Creative Computing is a course where ACT Year 11 & 12 students learn the fundamentals of computer programming through the creative process of making music and visual art. As well as creating and performing their own new works of code-based art & music, this course contributes towards the students’ ATAR and they receive credit towards an undergraduate computing degree if they choose to study at ANU. As the School of Computing’s first ever ANU Extension course, this program attracts fantastic students who might otherwise not study engineering or computer science (either at ANU or elsewhere) and helps them reimagine what it is to be a computer scientist or engineer in the 21st century.
COMP2300: Computer Organisation and Program Execution is ANU’s introductory computer architecture course, which I wrote and delivered from 2017–2018, and is now being delivered by Uwe Zimmer. In this course students take a complex computer system (the STM32L476G discovery “disco” board) home from week 1. That might seem daunting—and it’s true that there’s more stuff on such a board than one can master in one semester—but students can still learn a lot about CPUs (and how programs are organised and executed) by the end of the course.
The COMP2710 Internet of Things (IoT) China Study Tour is an in-country intensive study course conducted in partnership with the Beijing Institute of Technology. In this course students learn about low-cost, network-connected embedded computing devices & their relationship to the broader computing landscape through building a prototype IoT artefact (and releasing the source code, parts list and build instructions on GitHub), while reflecting on the design, security, social and ethical challenges associated with the Internet of Things.
