I’m thrilled that I can now make this public: as of Fall 2013, I’ll be an Assistant Professor in the Cinema and Media Studies Program at Wellesley College! I’m extremely excited to be joining such a wonderful group of students and faculty at an amazing college. And I’ll be coming back to the Boston area after a six year “break”, and I look forward to getting back together with old friends and making new ones.
Very happy that I was able to contribute a post entitled The Noises of Finance to the excellent Sounding Out! sound studies blog. This is a short precis of one chapter of my dissertation, the completion of which will be happening imminently! More details on that and other important news to come soon.
I just had an article entitled ‘Radio Feeds, Satellite Feeds, Network Feeds: Subjectivity Across the Straits of Gibraltar’ published in the journal fibreculture. The journal is open-access, so be sure to check out my piece as well as all of the other excellent ones .
I’m happy to say that I’ve been awarded a Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Completion Fellowship for the 2012-2013 academic year! I’ll be finishing my dissertation, tentatively titled Noisy Fields: Interference, Elusiveness, and Embodied Temporality in Sonic Practices.
I’ll be presenting a talk at the Berkeley Center for New Media entitled “Noisy Fields” on 14 Feb 2012 from 5-6:30PM.
I am pleased to say that I am a Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Graduate Fellow at the Cornell Society for the Humanities for the 2011-2012 academic year during the theme “Sound: Culture, Theory, Practice, Politics”.
I’m proud to announce the release of a new version of Fluid Nexus. It’s been re-written from the ground up to allow for easier message passing, the distribution of audio, image, and video attachments, and support for Android and desktops running Windows or Linux. More information, along with downloads, can be found on the site. Questions, comments, and flames can be sent to fluidnexus {{at}} fluidnexus {{dot}} net.
Just wanted to write a couple of notes. The website design has been updated, as the older version was getting a bit annoying for even my own tastes. I’ve added a couple of recent projects as well. Finally, I’ve transitioned most of my code for works like MAICgregator, Journal of Journal Performance Studies, and Fluid Nexus to a series of repositories on github ; code for my master’s thesis project syngvab is still available from a local SVN repository.
I’m happy to say that the Journal of Journal Performance Studies will be shown in this year’s FILE festival in São Paulo. Thanks to the curators for this honor!
I’m very happy to say that the Journal of Journal Performance Studies was the noted as one of the “best works” of this year’s Beyond category in Memefest. Thanks to the curators for this honor!
Claudia Pederson and I are again co-teaching a course at Ithaca College, this year entitled “FLEFF LAB: Checkpoints Project”.
