Golan Levin (www.flong.com) is an artist, composer, performer and engineer interested in developing artifacts and events which explore supple new modes of reactive expression. His work examines non-verbal communications protocols across a variety of online, installation and performance media, and has included large-scale social visualizations, multiperson augmented realities, and individual systems for the creation, manipulation and performance of responsive image and sound.

Most recently, Levin and his colleagues presented Dialtones (2001/2002), a concert whose sounds are wholly performed through the carefully choreographed ringing of the audience's own mobile phones. Previously, Levin was granted an Award of Distinction in the Prix Ars Electronica for his Audiovisual Environment Suite (2000) interactive software and its accompanying audiovisual performance, Scribble. Levin has exhibited, performed and lectured widely in Europe, the United States, and Asia. He resides in New York City and is represented by the Bitforms gallery.
