About

I work at the interface of science and technology studies (STS) and archaeology. This work forms part of an emerging inter-disciplinarian field strategizing the design, engagement with and assessment of scientific knowledge. It is about the future(s) of the social sciences after the integration of Informational and Communicational Technologies (ICTs). I research the specifics of how cyberinfrastructure, digital technologies and new media platforms impact the practices of the social sciences. As an anthropological archaeologist, I work as an embedded researcher. This current research developed from merging my fieldwork project at the World Heritage Site of Teotihuacan, Mexico with my role as co-founder and associate director of the Metamedia Lab at Stanford University.

Current projects include: information design, visualization and 'visual epistemology' in the sciences; the proliferation of online databases and collections, native digital data and virtual reconstructions in archaeology creating a collective 'digital heritage'; the convergence of 'deep environmentalism', human-nonhuman ontologies and cyberlaw and how they are changing the understanding of natural-cultural heritage.
