Since 2005, I have worked in forward-thinking non-profit arts organizations in executive leadership, curatorial, editorial, and fundraising capacities. I have held senior roles as Director and Chief Curator of the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Director and Chief Curator of the Mandeville Art Gallery at UC San Diego, Founding Director of Gas, Senior Editor at Rhizome, as well as Assistant Curator of Visual Arts at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and Special Projects Coordinator at the New Museum.

My wide-ranging and numerous curatorial projects encompass exhibitions (solo, group, touring and online shows), public art commissions, public programs and publications. I have organized projects in museums, galleries, artist-run spaces, and digital platforms, centering interdisciplinary research, emerging technologies, and artist-led experimentation. A defining thread of my career is a commitment to future-facing organizational structures for artistic production. (Learn more here and here.)

I have a MA and PhD in Comparative Literature from New York University, and a BA in History and Sociology from U.C. Berkeley. My academic research broadly concerns the societal implications of technology and how computerized logic influences contemporary art production, with particular attention to media theory, curatorial practice and hybrid artistic practices. My first peer-reviewed book Expanded Internet Art: Twenty-First Century Artistic Practice and the Informational Milieu is published through Bloomsbury. My writing has appeared in Artforum, Art in America, ArtAsiaPacific, The Wire, CURA, New Media & Society, Rhizome and various exhibition catalogues. I have held teaching positions at UC San Diego, California College of the Arts (CCA), the University of Southern California, Scripps College, the San Francisco Art Institute and New York University.
