I am an Assistant Professor of Digital Media Studies at the University of
Denver, and the graduate director of the M.A. in Digital Media Studies. I
teach courses in digital audio production, critical approaches to digital
media, and digital research methodologies. I guide numerous graduate
research projects, and I direct the DMS program's digital art/theory
journal, Perspective House. I received a Ph.D. in English Literature from
the University of Colorado, Boulder, in 1996. Establishing cultural trends
toward technoromanticism near the ends of the 19th and 20th century, my
dissertation explores textual production as a method of navigating through
climates of intense, cultural spectacle.
Since that time, I have sought to articulate a digital poetics taking shape
at the intersection of multimedia production, networking technologies, media
theory, literary criticism, and the history of drug culture. Media and audio
works may be found at Electronic Book Review, Stasis_Space, DJRabbi.com, on
several microsound.org compilations, and The Communications of Tomorrow
label. My imaginary soundtrack to Philip K. Dick's Radio Free Albemuth, is
out on the Sine Fiction label. I have contributed streams to global
webcasting projects including Open Air Radiotopia (Ars Electronica 2002) and
Platoniq's Open Radio Festival (Barcelona 2003).
Digital video work includes contributions to Randall Packer's US Department
of Art and Technology exhibits. I have collaborated with Mark Amerika and
Rick Silva of the DJ Rabbi collective on the "Society of the Spectacle (A
Digital Remix)." The "SOS" video debuted as part of the 2004 Biennale de
Paris onboard the Batofar and has since screened in New York, Bilbao,
Glasgow, Weimar, Eindhoven, and elsewhere.
Recent publications include articles in Leonardo Music Journal & Electronic
Almanac and Contemporary Music Review. I edit an ongoing thread at
Electronic Book Review devoted to music/sound/noise and produce shows for
Alt-X Audio. I curated the monthly visualsoundings series of electronic
music at Denver's Museum of Contemporary Art (2002-3). I also founded Denver
's first digital media festival, A:D:A:P:T, in Spring 2003, and co-founded
the first University of Denver Media Festival in February 2004.
