About

Jonathan J. Harris (b. August 27, 1979) is an artist, technologist, and scholar — inspired by the search for universal principles and patterns.

He studied drawing and painting at Deerfield Academy, computer science at Princeton University, interaction design at Fabrica, and shamanism with The Power Path. His work with data visualization and digital storytelling helped to establish those fields in the early 2000s through projects like We Feel Fine, The Whale Hunt, and Cowbird.

From 2015–2022, he focused on the practice of "Life Art" by working to alchemize old family patterns at High Acres Farm, his family’s ancestral land in Vermont — resulting in the ritual/film project, In Fragments, the completion of Notitia Sanctuary, and the initiation of Linestone.

His projects have been featured at TED, MoMA, Davos, Sundance, and in museums around the world. He now lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he’s evolving a new practice of teaching and learning called Sunlight.
