Research DescriptionI am a scholar, theorist, and curator of experimental and independent media artworks: film, video, and digital media. I am interested in the movement of art, meanings, and people between cultures. My philosophical approach favors the thought of Gilles Deleuze.

Islamic genealogy of new media art
My current major project is the book Enfoldment and Infinity: An islamic Genealogy of New Media Art. This research was inspired by formal commonalities between classical Islamic art and contemporary digital art. I show how historically Islamic aesthetics informed European modernism. I suggest ways that Islamic philosophy, which informs the creation of Islamic art, can also enrich the understanding of contemporary art.

Arab Cinema
I am also writing on cinema in the Arab world, and curating programs of Arab experimental and documentary film and video. For this research I travel often to the great city of Beirut, a center of innovation in media arts in the Arab world.

Aesthetics
I developed “Experience : Information : Image,” a triadic, enfolding-unfolding model of aesthetics in the new media age. http://vectors.iml.annenberg.edu

The Senses
Finally, I continue to be interested in the immediate senses of smell, touch, and taste, as mediums of beauty and knowledge.
