I am Professor of Practice in English at Cornell University, USA. I trained as an artist and theorist and have worked as an information architect in NYC's Silicon Alley. I orient myself as an experimental researcher and teacher of emergent cultural practices. My books, essays, videos, multimedia presentations, courses, workshops, and especially the collaborative media initiatives and interdisciplinary networks through which I work constitute a program of applied research in cultural, technological, and organizational performance, instantiated in the global institution of higher education. Over the past twenty years, I have developed a pedagogy called StudioLab that mixes conceptual, aesthetic, and technical learning in learning environments that combine seminar, studio, and lab work so that students can engage social problems out in the field: communities, organizations, and their everyday lives.
