Assistant Professor of Video Art and Digital Media

Research Profile

My main research interests are in video art, film aesthetics, digital media and world cinema. I have particular interests in: the temporality of moving image works; the filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, video projection and urban space; transmedial adaptation; and video games. I am currently working on a book about Joseph Cornell's film work, as well as articles about projection mapping in the city, and the adaptation of video game stylistics in contemporary cinema.

Teaching

This year I will be teaching a course on adaptation in audiovisual media that involves the analysis of film, television, and video game texts. I will also be teaching a first year module on contemporary art, and a second year module on art since the 1960s that will include an extended case study on the history of video art.
