Patrick Hartono

Patrick Hartono is a researcher and artist whose practice integrates technology and computational methodologies to explore electroacoustic music, generative visuals, embodied interaction, and human–AI co-creativity. He is a Lecturer in Digital Media (Interaction) at RMIT Vietnam and previously taught Computational Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London.

His PhD was awarded the Conservatorium Director Award for Exceptional Doctoral Research. His research has been published in leading journals including Organised Sound and Computer Music Journal, as well as in peer-reviewed conference proceedings such as ACM and NIME. Artistically, his works fuse traditional Indonesian instruments, computer-generated sound, visuals, and field recordings through mathematical structures, real-time interaction, and controlled randomness, and have been recognized through international awards and distinctions.

These works have been presented internationally at festivals and conferences including Ars Electronica, ICMC, IRCAM, ZKM, CCRMA, ISEA, and NIME. He serves on the board of the International Computer Music Association and holds leadership roles for NIME, ACM DIS, and ACM SIGGRAPH SPARK.
