Andrew Sorensen

Andrew Sorensen is an artist, a programmer, and a computer scientist. His interests are diverse, but unify under a common theme – the programming language as an interface for real-time dialogue between human, machine, and environment. In exploring these ideas Andrew is as likely to be found hacking code in nightclubs as steering code on distributed high performance computing clusters.

Andrew is well known for creating the programming languages that he uses in live performance to generate audiovisual theatre. He is invited to perform these contemporary improvisations all around the world, and is a regular international conference speaker.

Andrew is the author of the Extempore programming language – a systems programming language designed for high-performance “live” programming.
