About
My work is situated at the intersection of media theory, contemporary philosophy and digital art and has appeared in journals and book collections such as Body & Society (forthcoming, 2013), The Senses and Society (2012), Culture Machine (2010), Leonardo (2010) and others.
My research is preoccupied with the relationship between technology, art and media theory and the capacity of their encounters to generate new concepts and alternative experiences. It concerns attempts to theorise alternative linkages between the digital and the virtual, culture and nature, technology and biology, science and art, beyond the commonplace approaches of negation, dialectics and critique. Instead, my writing opts for the construction of non-reductive, transdisciplinary methods, after thinkers like Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, William James, Henri Bergson, Susanne Langer, A.N. Whitehead, Isabelle Stengers; and relates to a current wave of theorists that follow on their footsteps, such as Brian Massumi, Erin Manning, Matthew Fuller, Steve Goodman, Anna Munster, Olga Goriunova, Kodwo Eshun, and many others.
I am currently working on a monograph that explores the underlying dimensions of rhythm, as part and parcel of digital media art, which I suggest can expose our human time-scales outside the regime of imposed linear time and chronology.
Fields in which I teach and supervision interests include media theory, new media art, contemporary philosophy, aesthetics, technoscience, digital culture and theories of sound, time, and affect.
