CORRUPTION
Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art(May 2016)
Curator
Corruption centered degradation, adulteration, and deception as well as their political, computational, bodily, and even curatorial stakes. Exploring the systemic and the localized, invited artists highlighted corruption as a social and material process that manipulates, obfuscates, and calls attention to data.

Corruption was the 2016 edition of MediaLive, an annual international festival of digital arts and technoculture at Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA). The festival is now a biennial and I curated four annual festival editions from 2016–2019. The festival also features workshops, performances, screenings, panel discussions, and other events that take place at BMoCA and venues across the city of Boulder, CO. It draws thousands of annual visitors and, during my tenure, has garnered hundreds of individual mentions in intenrational, national, and local publications, including but not limited to: The Guardian, Vanity Fair, New York Magazine, ARTNET, Colorado Public Radio, New York Daily News, USA Today, NME Magazine, CBS News, VICE Media, The Today Show, GQ Magazine, and the Huffington Post.`
