Dr. Meredith Hoy is Associate Professor of Contemporary Art and Media Theory (Art History) and Intermedia/Expanded Arts (Studio Practice) in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 2010 in the department of Rhetoric.
Her first monograph, entitled From Point to Pixel: A Genealogy of Digital Aesthetics, was published by the University Press of New England in 2017 in the series Interfaces: Studies in Visual Culture. Her most recent publications include an essay “Sequencing Serendipity: Mathematical Agents in the Computational Imagination” in the exhibition catalog Coded: Art Enters the Computer Age, 1952-1982 (Leslie Jones, ed. Los Angeles County Museum of Art Press, 2023) and the chapter “Clouds, Critique & Contradiction: Programming Dissent in Dada and Data Art” in Dada Data: Contemporary Art Practice in The Era of Post-Truth Politics (Sarah Hegenbart and Mara Koelmel, eds. Bloomsbury Press, 2022).
Hoy’s interdisciplinary research and creative practice consider intersections of technological, ecological, scientific, and social systems. Her current book project is a collection of speculative writings that explore limitations, possibilities, and permeable borders between narratives, knowledges, kinships, relationalities, and textual landscapes of image/object/sound.
