R. Luke Dubois is a composer, artist, and performer who explores the temporal, verbal, and visual structures of cultural and personal ephemera. He holds a doctorate in music composition from Columbia University, and has lectured and taught worldwide on interactive sound and video performance. He has collaborated on interactive performance, installation, and music production with many artists and organizations, including Toni Dove, Todd Reynolds, Chris Mann, Bora Yoon, Michael Joaquin Grey, Matthew Ritchie, Elliott Sharp, Michael Gordon, Maya Lin, Bang on a Can, Engine 27, Harvestworks, and LEMUR in addition to serving as the director of the Princeton Laptop Orchestra for its 2007 season. Stemming from his investigations of “time-lapse phonography,” Dubois’s work is a sonic and encyclopedic relative to time-lapse photography. Just as a long camera exposure fuses motion into a single image, his projects reveal the average sonority, visual language, and vocabulary in music, film, text, or cultural information. Exhibitions of his work have been experienced at the Institut Valencià d’Art Modern (Spain), Haus der Elektronischen Künste (Switzerland), 2008 Democratic National Convention, Weisman Art Museum, San José Museum of Art, National Constitution Center, Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, Daelim Museum (South Korea), Sundance Film Festival, Sydney Film Festival, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Prospect.2 New Orleans, and Aspen Institute. A major survey of his work, NOW, received its premiere at the Ringling Museum of Art in 2014, with a catalog published by Scala Arts & Heritage Publishers.
