Description
Research interest that explores the tension between corporeal embodiment and the digital world in new media texts such as Virtual Reality, twine games, Artificial Intelligence, and Internet performance art pieces. I am interested in the power of new media texts to produce virtual spaces that allow the end user to experience a form of “hyper-embodiment” in which relationships to temporality and corporeality are enhanced. In particular, I focus on the role of hyper-embodiment as an artistic tool used by new media feminists to affirm trans, disabled, and racialized experiences of subjectivity which are often conceived of in terms of disembodiment. I would love to have an interactive conversation with others who study and produce new media texts about their implication for marginalized populations who are often not conceived of as the creators or end users or VR, twine games, and new media in general.
