Jon Gorham
Environmental Activist/
New Media Producer

For over a decade the Media Arts Center of Orange and Jon Gorham have maintained a professional working relationship. It all began with Jon as a Photoshop student of Ted’s at MAC.

Jon is an environmental activist, renewable energy entrepreneur with over three decades of tech commercialization under his belt and an avid new media developer. After graduating from MAC, Jon began a series of media projects in collaboration with the MAC that have spanned a wide range of topics.

The first major collaboration was to produce and interactive CD-ROM and curriculum for AMISTAD America, a floating museum that travels the globe, but is based in New Haven. That was followed by an American Library Association, gold medal award winning production documenting the historical landmark, The Charles W. Morgan whaling ship, the last surviving wooden whale ship in the world at Mystic Seaport. Ted and Jon built a set of ten interactive games that explain American nautical history.

Other collaborations include, an energy savings web site, a travel photo CD-ROM, an educational CD for the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center and a 60 year history of the Harvard University track team, with a website and oral history project.

Jon is a co-founder of a venture backed, cellulosic ethanol (clean transportation fuel) company (www.qteros.com) and a founding member of the Massaro Community Farm, a 57 acre Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project in Woodbridge, CT.

Jon anticipates many future collaborations with MAC.
