FACES Community

i work mostly with interactive art and video. also i edit online journal about new media and new music (www.hz-journal.org) and curate video and net art to widen general interest in those areas. one of my video works is archived on DVD compilation from Aspect Personas & Personalities, Vol 7.

I am an academic and practising/exhibiting new media artist for the past twenty years. These works include electronic installations, collaborations with performers, video and audio work, generative and software based artworks, VR environments and data visualisations/ecologies. Interdisciplinary and collaborative practice informs the development and ultimately the design of these artworks.

I am the Coordinator of Gender, Bodies & Technology (GBT), a growing interdisciplinary group of artists and other scholars interested in research and expression at the nexus of gender, bodies and technology. This group began as a research group of interested faculty members and graduate students affiliated with the Women’s and Gender Studies program at Virginia Tech. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in joining our growing listserv or learning more about our upcoming conference. Please see our website at http://www.cpe.vt.edu/gbt/ for information on our first conference in Spring of 2010 and updates on our upcoming conference in 2012. I can be contacted at selber_at_vt.edu.
