Everywhere at Once: Narrative Multiplicity and the Digital Archive
Its taken me a while to be able to sit down and write a summary about finishing grad school, but here it is in a nutshell: I’m done! :) That convoluted thing you see above was the title, and basically it meant that I was thinking about how technology … Read More →
Gearing up!
We installed our work in the convention center yesterday, part of a series of preparations in anticipation of the Graduate Thesis show that will open this Thursday. I set up a camera and tripod and made a couple makeshift videos of the event!
Spring Break!
