Scholar, artist, and writer, working across the fields of performance, media studies, and philosophy.

Current research: Informed by decolonial and feminist thought and practice, my research follows several intersecting threads: the construction of the synthetic real and mechanisms of knowledge, affect, and value production in the age of “post-truth” and big data; more just and sustainable alternatives to toxic capitalist models and mindsets as well as aesthetic practices that can help us imagine and enact such alternatives. I lead the Data Fluencies Theatre Project, which is a part of the broader Mellon-funded Data Fluencies Project. I am the author of Malicious Deceivers: Thinking Machine and Performative Objects (Stanford University Press, 2023).
