Jonathan Reus (b. 1982, New York) is a leading researcher in experimental music technologies and an award-winning artist and educator working at the intersection of live performance, AI and the philosophy of voice. His work is grounded in hands-on engagement with technology as a conceptual territory for art, alongside collaboration with communities of vocal practice – creating convivial ways to navigate technologies that risk alienating us from the social and embodied bonds of music making.

Reus has been a key figure in community-driven music technology and sound art circles, serving as an educator, curator and researcher at the legendary Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music (STEIM), and helping to co-found grassroots artistic technology initiatives including the instrument inventors initiative (iii, The Hague), the Platform for Thought in Motion and Netherlands Coding Live (NL_CL). His practice has been developed through residencies at leading research labs such as the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM, Graz), the Intelligent Instruments Lab (Iceland), the Augmented Instruments Lab (London), Forecast Platform (Berlin) and the DesignLab at the University of Twente.

He is a two-time Prix Ars Electronica award winner and Fulbright Fellow whose works include commissions from the Stedelijk Museum, Asko–Schönberg Ensemble, CTM Festival/Deutschlandfunk Kultur and others. His work has been presented at venues such as the Ars Electronica Center, ZKM, IRCAM and Ballroom Marfa. alongside numerous international grants and teaching honours including the Leuphana Teaching Prize for interdisciplinary curriculum design.
