About

I’m Craig Ellenwood, a Creative Technologist and AI Collaboration Specialist blending art, music, and software into immersive experiences. With 30+ years at the edge of art and technology, I direct AI as a co-creator, building prototypes and experiences that push the boundaries of what’s possible.

I thrive on being first—first to explore new techniques, first to build something that shouldn’t exist yet but should. My work spans music, film, live performance, and interactive media, and I lead teams to deliver outputs that neither humans nor machines could achieve alone.

Made for MAG International after I visited their museum and visitor center in Vientiane Laos in 2025 and wept, seeing all the bombs they dig up and learning about the thousands more than maim and kill people to this day. I couldn’t simply buy a t-shirt to clean my conscience, I had to do more. This song is what I gave them and it is on display in their visitor center.
