Anne Balsamo to lecture at LADTF
Dr. Balsamo's opening LADTF lecture, "Designing Culture: The Technological Imagination at Work," addresses the need for culture to be considered in the design and development of innovative technologies. Essential to innovation is the "technological imagination," which she defines as thinking with technology and change the known into reality.
The lecture synthesizes Dr. Balsamo's just released book of the same name. She also wrote and published Technologies of the Gendered Body: Reading Cyborg Women.
A co-founder of Onomy Labs in Silicon Valley, serves as professor at both the USC School of Cinematic Arts and the Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism. Dr. Balsamo previously was with RED (Research on Experimental Documents at Xerox PARC, and served as project manager and new media designer for an interactive museum exhibit, "XFR: Experiments in the Future of Reading."
