Glenn Meader
Interaction/Visuals Designer
Glenn has worked on over one hundred theater productions in the last thirty
years in capacities ranging from lighting and set design to technical direction.
He began his technical career in theater at age twelve doing “light
shows” for rock bands. After graduating from Carnegie-Mellon University
with a BFA in Theater, Glenn began developing some of the first animated laser
projections using computer graphics, touring with major bands including Blondie
and Kansas. He developed his programming skills professionally with Progress
Software in 1995. Since that time he has created kinetic sculptures using
electronics and microcomputers, including a radio-controlled dancer for Capacitor’s
'Avatars' performance in 2003. For Capacitor's 'Digging in the Dark' show,
Glenn created a bounce-juggling audio-triggered computer graphics system;
computer controlled, live inferred and digital video mixing; and live video
image manipulation.
