Joel Simon

1993-present

Joel Simon is a multidisciplinary artist, toolmaker, and researcher based in Berkeley who creates new metaphors for interacting with technology to enhance our creative processes. He is the founder of Morphogen and creator of Artbreeder, a massively collaborative machine learning interface that transforms AI technologies into playful and accessible creative tools—and in doing so, inadvertently architected the foundation upon which the entire contemporary AI art ecosystem was built.
