 Recently, I have done work on digital art and authenticity, using work by Linda Hutcheon and Gilles Deleuze to look into whether the digitization of art, both born-digital and physical-turned-digital, carries the same essence and humanity that we see in traditional forms of art like painting or literature.
 
-When I am not forced by society's pressure in my mind to create things like websites for my academic career, I love watching movies (specifically going to the movie theater), reading (only gay classic fiction), and talking to myself (I get lost). I'm trying desperately hard to think if there is anything else beyond this sad attempt at humor that best describes me, but I think that's about it. I also have an unrelated obsession with wind and circles.

-In case you are dying to know, my favorite movies are Arrival (2016), her (2014), God's Own Country (2017), The Power of the Dog (2021), and The Red Shoes (1948). My favorite recent film is probably TAR (2022). My favorite books include <i>Giovanni's Room</i> by James Baldwin, <i>The Moon is Down</i> by John Steinbeck, <i>My Heart is a Lonely Hunter</i> by Carson McCullers, and <i>A Boy's Own Story</i> by Edmund White. Though, I am currently reading <i>In Search of Lost Time</i> by Marcel Proust and I would consider it my favorite of all time (so far). As for music, I like anything Imogen Heap or Adele.

As for music, I grew up on everything Adele, keeping her songs at the tip of my mouth, and, as a violinist, I have kept Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto and Bach's Partita no. 2 close, respectively, to my hands. And I couldn't forget Elgar, who, it seems, is where my mind often wanders.
