Teaching
In the classroom, what I hope students will come away with-in addition to strong technical skills-is experience and inspiration to creatively think about how media and writing relate to other art forms and modes of inquiry. Students will be encouraged to be leaders in the creation and design of uncommon assemblages and hybrids which may very well be tomorrow's commonplace.
Courses Taught

Research/Scholarship
I am a media artist and writer whose interdisciplinary work includes experimental sound and radio; video works; new media; experimental narrative; theoretical writings; and various media and literature hybrids. Currently, I am completing a large scale audio piece based on the relation between William Carlos Williams' Paterson and the city of Paterson, NJ. I am also developing live electronic performances for video and sound and am working on introducing facilities on campus that will enable students to explore this type of work as part of the IAS curriculum.
