My interest in digital humanities, media art, and media studies has led me to develop an expertise in curation, particularly works of electronic literature. I co-direct, with my partner Dr. John Barber, Nouspace Gallery & Media Lounge in Vancouver, WA, which provides me with a public space to experiment with curating, exhibit works, and provide students with opportunities for extending their learning outside of the classroom.

I direct two labs at WSUV that I use for research and teaching. “The E-Lit Lab,” with its 20 vintage Macintoshes dating back to 1983, is used for studying the development of electronic literature on the computers they were originally created on and for. “The MOVE Lab,” with its motion-tracking technology and robust multimedia capabilities, is used for creating interactive installations and performances.

I have spent the last six and a half years building The Creative Media & Digital Culture Program at Washington State University Vancouver, from 44 students in 2006 to its current size of 175, and have given it its current research foci: web and mobile development, 2 & 3D animation, creation of sensor-based virtual environments, and the development of social media policy and platforms.

News Update: My collaborator Stuart Moulthrop and I were awarded a 2013 Digital Humanities Start Up Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for our project, “Pathfinders: Documenting the Experience of Early Digital Literature.” I was also elected President of the Electronic Literature Organization and will begin working in that role in September 2013 following the ELO Paris conference.
