New York University

 

 

I am a doctoral student in the department of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University. My work is concerned with unintended network consequences, the digitally abject, and non-normative uses of technology. I also work on the role of temporality and spatiality in the use of geospatial information systems and mobile web technologies, and the role of interface and human computer interaction in shaping our relaionship with these objects. Finally, I work with the various and often queer subcultures of the Internet, their mobilization and visual expression.

I hold an MA in cinema studies from New York University and a BA in Spanish Language and Literature from the University of Puget Sound. I have presented work at NYU, the University of Iowa, MIT, The University of Pittsburgh, the University of Puget Sound, and the Northwest Communications Conference. I am currently preparing a work on network topology in the global south based on research in Cambodia last summer, curating a queer net.art exhibition at the Preteen Gallery in Mexico City, and teaching Introduction to Media Criticism at New York University this Spring.

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.
