Work

Lieberman's work has appeared in numerous exhibitions around the world, including Ars Electronica, Futuresonic, CeBIT, and the Off Festival.

He collaborated with artist Golan Levin on the interactive audiovisual project "Messa Di Voce".[3]

With Theo Watson and Arturo Castro, he created openFrameworks, an open source C++ library for creative coding and graphics.[4]

Lieberman has held residencies at Ars Electronica Futurelab, Eyebeam,[5][6] Dance Theater Workshop, and the Hangar Center for the Arts in Barcelona. In 2013, he co-founded the School for Poetic Computation, a hybrid of a school, residency and research group in New York City.[7]
