Hello…

I teach in the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California, where I currently co-chair the Media Arts + Practice program and co-direct the AI for Media & Storytelling (AIMS) initiative of the USC Center for Generative AI and Society. My research centers on the edges of cinema, from handmade feminist film practices to the post-image, post-cinematic and posthuman and experiments in digital image capture. My writing spans arts journalism, creative nonfiction and more scholarly forms. I wrote the essays that comprise the catalog Björk Digital, and I am the author of Fast Forward: The Future(s) of the Cinematic Arts and New Digital Cinema: Reinventing the Moving Image; I also served as editor for David O. Russell: Interviews and The New Ecology of Things, which collects essays on pervasive computing. My own image-based work explores alternative film and photography practices, from cyanotypes and phytograms to animation, photogrammetry and experiments with image processing.
