Ben Kudler is an artist, computer scientist, and professor living and working in New York City. His work is focused on sound, in particular improvised electronic music, audio-installations, and speech/text synthesis. Curation, activism, and critical writing also figure prominently into his practice. Releasing small run audio multiples—cassettes, records, CDs and web native releases—and performing in what is often tersely termed the Noise Underground, Kudler’s work is heavily influenced by the experiences of living and organizing in Baltimore’s long running, but now defunct, art warehouse spaces, The Bank and Tarantula Hill. Kudler holds an M.S. in computer science from NYU and a B.A. in a self-directed major focused on music and narrative nonfiction from Hampshire College. He has taught and participated in research at the New School For Social Research, Eyebeam Art + Technology Center, Hampshire College, Goldsmiths College of London, NYU, UCLA, Wave Farm and Otisville State Prison. His latest release is We All Go Through What We All Go Through, released on Superpang in 2024.
