I am a historian, archivist, and curator of American science, technology, and media.
I study histories of video technology, computing, evolution, human sciences, visual culture, technologies of consciousness, and Caltech, where I work as University Archivist and Head of Archives and Special Collections.
I lead the team behind the expansive exhibition Crossing Over: Art and Science at Caltech, 1920–2020, open at Caltech through December 15, and its catalog, which features 12 essays on the visual culture of Caltech science.
I also recently published “Between Paradigms: Video and Art Therapy” in the book Modernism, Art, Therapy.
