Bacon’s practice explores computation, its qualities and characteristics as a medium, and its relationship with society. Four main exploratory trajectories have persisted in his research and practice: computational media, machine art, sound, and reality media. His creations have taken the form of mechanical sculptures, machine-learning neural networks, networked systems, experimental interfaces, body-hacking, and sound. His artistic methodology is rooted in the research process and is experimental in its essence, often reliant on direct interaction with materials. His conceptual approach is at times playful, critical, interpretive, and speculative. He is an Associate Professor of Media & Arts and Major Convener of Computation & Design at Duke Kunshan University. He is the co-director of the Duke-DKU Presence Lab and the Design, Technology, and Radical Media Lab. He is a fellow at V2_Lab for the Unstable Media and the co-lead of the Art, Media, Cybernetics working group at the American Society of Cybernetics.
