How to Learn More About Olivia Jack or Get in Touch

Updated

ojack.xyz is Olivia Jack's personal site, described simply as "artist &&& programmer." The site itself is the primary way to learn about her work: it lists her projects, workshops, performances, and an RSS feed. There is no separate contact form or email address shown in the available page content, so the most reliable paths are the site's own pages and the linked project sites.

What the site tells you about Olivia Jack

The homepage presents a running index of work rather than a biography. From the listing, her practice spans:

  • Live coding and browser-based software — Hydra video synth, fubbles // function scribbles, PIXELSYNTH
  • Drawing as an interface — hybrid code and graphics editors, visual scores
  • Performance and installation — live visuals, museum and performance contexts
  • Workshops and teaching — e.g. "Hybrid Interfaces: drawing and code" at Algopolis, ljudmila hacklab, Ljubljana, Slovenia (2022)
  • Sound and data visualization — browser-based synthesizers, computer-vision and cartography tags

The site's own tag list (browser-based, c++, cartography, computer-vision, dance, data-visualization, drawing, hydra, installation, live coding, media-design, museum, performance, software, sound, visual scores, visuals, workshop) is the clearest summary of her themes and practices.

Getting in touch

The page evidence does not include a contact address, contact form, or social media links. If you need to reach Olivia Jack, the practical route is to open the site directly and look for an "about" page or footer links, since the homepage excerpt only shows the project index and an RSS link. For project-specific questions, the individual project sites (for example, the Hydra video synth project) are often the better place to start, because they are where the tool's own community and documentation live.

A quick way to understand her direction

If you only have a few minutes, read the project list in order and note the recurring tags. Hydra video synth (2023) is described as a "live-codeable video synth and networked coding environment that runs in the browser" — that single entry captures much of her approach: browser-based, live-coded, and built for networked collaboration. PIXELSYNTH (2016), a browser-based synthesizer for creating sound from images and drawings inspired by the ANS synthesizer, shows the same interest in turning visual input into live output. Together they explain why her work sits at the intersection of drawing, code, and performance.
