Recognized as a pioneer in the use of resonance in art (Intuit, Oxford University), Jeff Talman has created numerous important sound installations such as those in Cathedral Square, Cologne, for the MIT Media Lab, The Kitchen, Eyebeam, St. James Cathedral, Chicago, four installations in the Bavarian Forest, and those in Finland, the Czech Republic and Italy among others. His major achievement is the decade-plus exploration of reflexive resonance, the process he developed in which ambient resonance of a site becomes an installation’s sole sound source. Talman’s work further investigates the nature of sound and other primal radiant and wave forces (light, gravity, the sea) and their effects in generating concepts of natural and architectural space, human presence, place and time. Talman was trained as a composer, but also studied visual arts as an undergraduate. He attended and eventually taught and directed orchestras at Columbia University and the City College of New York. He has been awarded major fellowships including those from the Guggenheim Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts. He has been working with computers and digital sound since 1984.
