Title

Professor of Contemporary Art & Theory

Research interests relevant to game philosophy

My research is in intermedia; Euro-American and Asian interdisciplinary practices from the 1960s onwards and their intersections with (continental and Japanese) philosophy; the status of sensory experience in cultural knowledge; and in complexity, disorder, and hybridity. My interest in (artistic) games is related to iterability, indeterminacy, flow, game dynamics, the relationship of game structures to play, theories of the event and time.
