Aesthetics and Computation:
Golan Levin is an artist, composer, performer and engineer, and one of the most incredible digital artists working today. He trained at the now-defunct Interval Research, and in John Maeda's Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Lab - a group which gives artists and designers the coding and hardware development skills to make truly next-generation art.
Golan is one of a handful of polymaths (see also: Daniel Rozin) who are exploring the intersection of mathematics and form and extending the formal language of interactivity to create new kinds of art. Unfortunately, much of his work requires very advanced hardware to experience properly, but his online experiments are absolutely worth checking out. My favorites: Yellowtail, Ozbok, BP, Floccular Portraits, and, especially Ribble.
Also, be sure to check out RE:MARK, an augmented-reality art installation where up to six participants are able to "see" each others' voices, in the form of animated graphic figurations that appear to emerge from their mouths while they speak!
