Gabriel Dunne, co-creator of Seaquence.org: is an interdisciplinary artist and designer. He creates experiences of light, sound, and form, utilizing software, audio/music/sound, animation, and installation. He incorporates geometry, code + technology, natural systems, structure, phenomenon, and generative processes into his work, demonstrating a polymathic focus on the connections between subjects that spans many mediums and influences.

His projects have been shown in internationally at conferences and exhibitions including New York MoMA, SIGGRAPH, Japan Media Arts Festival, Barcelona Festival Sonar, Interferenze Italia, and numerous publications. He is a San Francisco native, and holds a B.A. in Design | Media Arts from UCLA.
