Digital Void Internet Literacies Collective

The Digital Void project, co-produced with Josh Chapdelaine, was originally conceptualized as a salon series and evolved into a live event series where guests — writers, journalists, researchers, and scholars — present on esoteric and important parts of the internet in entertaining and engaging ways.

#MolloyNewMedia

Founded in 2013, the New Media Program at Molloy College was created by considering how communications and emergent media combine to increase technical aptitude, digital storytelling, and civic engagement. I founded the NYS BS degree and co-founded the game studies track and a variety of interdisciplinary minors and projects. The degree now has over two-dozen graduates, many of whom work in the digital media fields applying their knowledge.

The Spatial Humanities Kit

The Spatial Humanities Kit was co-developed by Matt Applegate and myself. The project is a backpack mobile video and digital mapping production kit that includes 360 degree video acquisition, code for mapping and archiving, and video production gear. The kit is designed to be accessible and permits modifications based on locative or storytelling project, budget, and needs. The kit has been deployed in Ireland, Italy, and domestically. Specific examples below.
