As the choreographer William Forsythe has insisted, "if dance only does what we assume it can do, it will expire."
​
My work brings that belief into our embodied encounters with new media and technology. I work with artists, dancers, scholars, technologists, makers, and musicians to understand how we might live and move in a technologically mediated world with humor, grace, creativity, and care.
​
I write, organize, curate, and teach about new and old media, cultural history and philosophy of technology, design, disability, cities, literature, comics, animation, sound, circuses and more. I am Director of Programs at Leonardo, the International Society for the Arts, Science and Technology. I earned a Ph.D. in Modern Thought and Literature from Stanford University. At Stanford, I was a Geballe Fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center, where I also led the Graphic Narrative Project. I've also served as a lecturer in Visual & Critical Studies at California College of the Arts and lead curator with CODAME Art & Tech.
