PhD Candidate, Media, Culture & Communication

I am a doctoral candidate in the department of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University. My research interests include new and digital media, media history, art and technology, queer theory, and media archaeology.
My dissertation project is titled Image Objects: An Archaeology of Computer Graphics, and it investigates the early history of computer graphics and the role they play in the move toward new forms of simulation and object oriented design. Using a media archaeological approach the project looks to uncover this largely neglected history and in doing so describe a fundamental transformation in the way we understand and interface with technical objects.
I am currently working as an instructor at New York University and as a staff writer for the art and technology organization Rhizome at the New Museum for Contemporary Art. In the past I have worked for the Museum of the Moving Image, the Department of Moving Image Archiving and Preservation (NYU), The Seattle Art Museum, and several IT companies in Seattle and New York.
I was born in California and live in Brooklyn.
