  Joel Swanson (US) is an artist and writer whose work chiefly explores the failings and glitches of linguistic systems.

His work ranges from interactive installations to public sculptures that playfully and powerfully question words and their meanings. Swanson is an assistant professor in the ATLAS Institute and the Herbst Program for Engineering, Ethics & Society at the University of Colorado Boulder where he works and teaches at the intersection of language and technology. He holds a courtesy appointment in the Intermedia Arts Writing and Performance PhD Program.
