About

Meason Wiley is a creative technologist, artist, musician, fabricator, and educator based out of Texas. He holds a BFA and an interdisciplinary MFA in Music Technology: Interaction, Intelligence, & Design (MTIID) from California Institute of the Arts, with a focus on mechatronics, physical computing, computer science, interactive systems, kinetic art, sound design, audio systems design, digital fabrication, immersive design, and music composition. Meason spent the last 7 years at Meow Wolf, where he both led and contributed to over 24 immersive projects across 4 exhibitions (Santa Fe, Las Vegas, Denver, & Grapevine) as a Mechatronic, Interactive & Sound Artist, and also as the Director of Research & Development.

Prior to Meow Wolf, Meason was an Associate Professor of Music Technology at Austin Community College, as well as a Lecturer at CalArts, where he taught courses in sound design & sound synthesis, generative systems, interaction design, visual programming, mechanical design, & immersive experience design. He was also the ACC Makerspace Coordinator, where he founded the ACC Digital Art + Technology Forum, a monthly lecture/performance series that provided a platform that brought innovative artists and technologists from all over the world to share, engage, and inspire both students and the greater Austin creative community.  

His personal work centers around the exploration of imperceptibility in nature, natural systems, and biomimetics, as well as volumetric experiential design within a physical environment.

In addition to his own work, Meason has been involved with the KarmetiK collective/think tank since 2009, a group of artists and engineers seeking to explore and redefine the boundaries between music, the visual arts, and technology.  

He is also a Co-Founder & CTO of the Immersive Experience Design Group Brain Collision.
