About this Lister

Hi, I’m AC. I’m a sound and media artist working at the intersections of legacy stewardship, systems design, and experimental composition. I’m also an archival consultant with over a decade of experience designing preservation workflows for media-rich, artist-driven collections that span the transition from the primarily-analog to the mostly-digital ages.

Background and Expertise

My consulting practice is informed by years of hands-on work in art-and-tech spaces—ranging from electronics fabrication and embedded systems, to studio build-outs and digital instrument creation. I began working in archives in 2013 through peer-to-peer training, and assumed my first managerial role with the Giorno Poetry Systems Archives in 2015. Now, I lead the Ugo Rondinone Archives and teach at NYU, and am excited to expand my consultancy within this context.
