Bio: Scott Snibbe is a new media artist, author, and meditation teacher whose work dissolves the illusion of separateness—between self and other, art and audience, body and nature. His pioneering interactive art, held in the collections of New York MoMA and the Whitney Museum of American Art, has been exhibited worldwide in museums, public spaces, concert tours, and immersive installations. He has collaborated with Björk, Philip Glass, Beck, and James Cameron, creating innovative intersections of art, music, and technology. Snibbe has received the Webby and Ars Electronica awards and grants from the National Science Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Rockefeller Foundation. He holds over thirty patents and has served as an advisor to The Institute for the Future and The Sundance Institute. He has held teaching and research positions at UC Berkeley, NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematics, San Francisco Art Institute, and California Institute for the Arts. As a leading figure in digital interactivity, Snibbe produced several groundbreaking art apps, including Gravilux, a number one app in Apple’s app store named “Best App of the Year”; and the world’s first “app album,” Björk: Biophilia. He was an early developer of Adobe After Effects and spent years at Paul Allen’s Interval Research Corporation researching interactive music, video, computer vision, and haptics. A longtime student and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, Snibbe is the executive director of the nonprofit Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment and hosts its widely followed meditation podcast. In 2024, he released his first book, How to Train a Happy Mind, featuring a foreword by the Dalai Lama. His work bridges ancient wisdom with cutting-edge technology, shaping new forms of engagement with consciousness, ritual, and community.
