- About Me:
- I am the director of Boston Cyberarts and an independent curator of new media. In October of this year my exhibition of six artists exploring interactive installation, Act React will open at the Milwaukee Art Museum. For thirteen years until 2006, I was curator of new media at the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA. I am also adjunct faculty at Rhode Island of Design’s graduate Digital Media program and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design where I teach on art and interactivity. I was executive co-producer for The Electronic Canvas, a hour-long documentary on the history of the media arts that aired on PBS in 2000 and I write on a variety of media, technology and art topics for numerous publications.
My interests in new media are varied. I have explored and curated exhibitions on digital sculpture, interactive installations, issues of digital identity and the history of art and technology. But I am pleased that the Cyberarts Festival explores other intersections between art and technology including electronic music, digital literature and dance and technology.
In 2006, the International Association of Art Critics (AICA) Boston Chapter honored me with the First Annual Special Award for Distinguished Contribution to the Boston Arts Community. In 2007, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts honored the Boston Cyberarts Festival with the Commonwealth Award by in the category of Creative Economy.
- Why do you want to join the Boston Cyberarts network?
- It is my hope that the Boston Cyberarts network will be a place to engage in interesting conversations concerning all manner of artists working in new technologies and the presentation and performance of that art. From these conversations I hope to shape the Boston Cyberarts Festival to reflect the most interesting and cutting edge work in this varied field.

Thanks for your response supporting our upcoming new media exhibition at UMass Dartmouth. We're very excited to be part of Cyberarts in Spring, 2009! Faculty members are working together on the exhibition details, we'll soon send you the information.
Besides, both of us are in the process of launching a new platform promoting net-art projects, connecting artists in this field by exhibiting in Beijing, New York City and Boston. The program is sponsored by NY Arts Magazine , NY Broadway Gallery , NY Arts Beijing Gallery. Hope we have a chance to collaborate in the future.
Greetings and good luck!
Thanks for writing. I teach at the Museum School and am very interested in discussions surrounding interdisceplinarity and the use of multi-media. Specificly, I am interested in coversations involving obsolescence, interactivity, systems, modes of processing information, notions of time, design, graphics, and sensory experience. This could relate to video, sound, print, installation and any combination thereof* I'm open to anything. I subscribe to Rhizome too and like the variety of posts.
All the best, Jennifer
