Crouse's undergraduate study in Computer Science and Fiction Writing[1] led to creating works that continued the history of automatic writing through using computers, code, and dynamic sources on the internet. Interactive Frank, for example, used sources on the internet to create dynamically generated audio programs reminiscent of public radio pioneer, Joe Frank. Another example is ChinASCII a video game based on the life Charles Bukowski.
In order to facilitate his projects, Jeff Crouse developed Switchboard a library for Processing. Switchboard allows "artists and designers to easily use a variety of live data sources for digital art".[2]
After completing a Master of Science degree in Information Design and Technology at Georgia Tech in 2006,[3] Crouse began a Production Fellowship at Eyebeam in 2006 and in 2007 he became a Senior Fellow.
He is on the Add-Art advisory committee.[4]
