Jonathan Chaim Reus

Jonathan Chaim Reus is an internationally touring transmedia artist, musician and researcher working to bridge art, science and technology through music practices. His own artistic work explores the ways technologies of music-making transform and are transformed by cultural traditions and material values. Since 2018 he has focused on human voice, and how the transformations of voice in data-driven technologies also brings a reconsideration of bodies, identities and communities.

In 2022, he received a CTM Radiolab commission for the collective generative radio epic "In Search of Good Ancestors". And since 2024 he is creative lead on the S+T+ARTS EU funded research projects "DADAsets", exploring vocal values and how they can be realized through artistic data collection practices.

As a composer, musician and artist Jonathan has received commissions from the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Slagwerk Den Haag, and Asko-Schönberg Ensemble, including composing original music and creating a robotic tape machine orchestra for Brave New World 2.0, a nationally-touring ensemble production re-imagining Aldous Huxley's dystopia in an era of intelligent machines. Together with Sissel Marie Tonn he is one part of the artist duo Sensory Cartographies, whose work investigates ways intimate, sensorial technologies can bring us into closer connection to the earth and our fragile ecosystems.

Jonathan is a PhD candidate in Music at the University of Sussex. He is an affiliate of the Intelligent Instruments Lab in Reykjavik, and a co-founder of the Instrument Inventors Initiative in The Hague.
