Max Cooper

An electronic musician and producer, a multidisciplinary artist, the founder of a music label, and a former scientist who has carved out a unique position at the intersection of music, visual art, and scientific research. This year, he will present his 3D/AV live show. The concert will take place on April 30 at 8 p.m. at the Husův sbor venue in Olomouc.

Max Cooper holds a PhD in computational biology, is the first contemporary electronic musician to have performed at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens, and was among the early artists to work with the Dolby Atmos format.

For over 15 years, Cooper has explored the intersections of art and science through music, collaboration, and his label, Mesh. His work includes installations, performative and immersive experiences, music videos, and live audiovisual projects that translate abstract ideas, data, and structures into sensorially accessible forms. In this way, his practice naturally aligns with the long-term mission of the AFO festival: to explore and present diverse ways of communicating science—not only through facts, but also through emotion, imagery, rhythm, and space.
