Jonathan Beilin is the son of a precocious Russian-Jewish-Japanese immigrant and a magnanimous slavic woman from the mid-west. In no particular order, he likes compassion towards humans and animals alike, literature, philosophy, bikes as an egalitarian form of sustainable transportation, cats, and stimulating conversation. He spends his time writing and performing mental calisthenics such as pondering questions of meaning and morality, wondering what defines and deforms culture, exploring what is necessary to prepare a society for innovations such as civil rights or animal rights, and exploring whether there is a deterministic trajectory of society and the nature of that trajectory.
Sometimes he programs and does techy and artsy stuff, too. Then he tries to make new interfaces to access relational data, to devise new ways to interact with generative music, and to encourage viewer agency in creating historical narratives in a museum setting.
