Media Archaeology Lab
As curator of the Media Archaeology Lab (MAL), I program exhibitions, run the residency program, and initiated a new collection of technologies designed for women's bodies.
The Media Archaeology Lab (MAL) provides a space for cross-disciplinary experimental research through hands-on access to the defining moments in the history of computing. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Lori Emerson and guided by the motto “the past must be lived so that the present can be seen,” the MAL's collection of still-functioning but (mostly) obsolete hardware, software, and platforms aims to defamiliarize and make visible for critique otherwise invisible interfaces, systems, and infrastructures.
