Comparing emergent media of different moments—from telescopes and cameras to smartphones and AI—I explore how changing techniques of visual mediation reshape our views of the world and one another.

I teach in the Art Department at Stony Brook University, where I am also affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Computational Science and Alda Center for Communicating Science. I serve on the Journal of Visual Culture editorial board.

I earned a doctorate from UC Berkeley in Rhetoric with Emphases in Film and in New Media, a hands-on master’s degree in Interactive Telecommunications (ITP) from NYU, and an undergraduate degree in English from Princeton.
