2018-2020 | The Vilcún Caves and the volcanic landscape of Chaitén, Chile | Photoggrametry
PI: Karen Holmberg, NYU. The National Geographic expedition explored the Vilcún cave paintings that are in the south of Chile. The area, known as Santa Bárbara, also includes the Chaitén volcano, which is one kilometer from the coast. The team of twelve experts was led by Karen Holmberg, a professor at New York University, who, for many years, has been studying how volcanic activity redistributes human populations. The project was called “The Vilcún Caves and the volcanic landscape of Chaitén, Chile: a transdisciplinary study of coastal conservation and archeology and the geological heritage of Patagonia”, and was made possible thanks to the National Geographic Explorer scholarships that financed the initiative.

2011-2018 | James Bay Ethnographic Resource | Videographer
This project contributes to the visual ethnographic and historical record of four James Bay Cree Communities in northern Quebec, Canada. It includes a selection of photographs from 2800 photographs taken by George Legrady in (Fort George, Wemindji, Eastmain and Waskaganish) in the summer of 1973. The collection also features photographs by Mary B Georgekish, Beverly Mayappo, Miklos Legrady, and anonymous photographers. The intent is to provide access to the images to the Cree and academic research communities to advance historical preservation and ethnographic research. This online cultural atlas is realized in collaboration with McGill University, Department of Anthropology, with funding from the National Science Foundation grant and the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation.

2015 | Konrad Zuse writing on computers and the arts
Konrad Zuse is known for designing the first high-level programming language called Plankalkül and also for creating the first programmable binary computer in 1942. However, his ideas and advanced projections about the potential of computer-aided art are still unknown among many new media researchers and media archaeologists. In this paper we argue that the artistic use of Zuse’s machines was not a coincidence but rather a part of Zuse’s original intent when he designed the Graphomat Z64, one of the first flatbed drawing machines available. Collaboration with professor Esteban Garcia, Purdue University.
