D.A.T.A. (Digital Arts and Textuality Alliance), co-director 2011 – present
DATA (Digital Art and Textuality Alliance) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary research group sponsored by CU Boulder’s Center for Humanities and the Arts; it is focused on emerging forms of electronic writing, digital art, new media theory and scholarly publishing. The research group is headed by Professors Mark Amerika (Art and Art History) and Lori Emerson (English). As part of their research mission, the members of DATA will begin building an online directory featuring a regional consortium of Colorado-based, university affiliates whose critical and/or creative practices converge in the area of digital art and textuality. DATA will also research and develop innovative Web sites that experiment with collaborative, practice-based forms of scholarly publishing in conjunction with major university presses.
