Jack Ox

Jack Ox is a trained artist with an MFA in visual arts from the University of California at San Diego and a Ph.D. from Swinburne University of Technology, School of Design, Melbourne, Australia. She is a musicologist, having spent thirty years creating large-scale visualizations of extant musical compositions including Kurt Schwitters' Ursonate, Anton Bruckner's Eighth Symphony, Claude Debussy's Nuages, Igor Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements, and John Cage's 4 minutes and 33 seconds (4'33"). As creative director of Intermedia Projects Inc (www.intermediaprojects.org), an international non-profit organization, she is building The Legacy of Artist-Scientists. This online international archive will define the essence of art science for the general public. In her 2015 dissertation, Ox researched manifestations of conceptual metaphor and blending theories in science, design, and art, thereby showing the existence of these concepts before they appeared as written theories. Jack Ox has served on the editorial board of Leonardo Journal of the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology (MIT Press) for over thirty years.
