Jason Ting (American, b. 1986) is a new media artist who creates abstract animated visuals exploring light, color, and motion. Born in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, he studied Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts at the University of California, San Diego, and lives and works in New Haven, Connecticut. He worked for more than a decade as a software engineer before returning to creative coding in 2020.
His work draws on natural phenomena such as rushing water, cloudy skies, flocking birds, and outer space, using color, texture, and motion to create different moods in each piece. He began working with creative-coding tools such as Processing and p5.js, and later moved to GLSL shaders and TouchDesigner, which let him iterate on his animations in real time. He began exploring programmable LEDs to bring his animations into physical, large-scale light sculptures.
