About
Catherine M. Lord is an artist and lecturer in the Department of Media. She specialises in art research, media ecology and transmedial studies. She is developing art projects in film and visual writing. She uses her own artistic work to 'replace' an academic essay or writes essays which experiment with 'literary non-fiction.' This began when, in her dissertation, The Intimacy of Influence, she developed the term 'theoretical fiction.' She also publishes academic essays. Recently, she completed a full length play, Ghostlight, which she aims to produce in 2012.
Voyage
Stories think. Lectures erupt into moments of poetry and performance. From the archaeology of knowledge emerge the cavedwellers, posthuman, all gathered round the camp fire.
CV
Journey of Themes
Present areas focus on Art Research, Media Ecology, and Transmedial Studies. I started out in literary studies, and have published in the areas of psychoanalysis, feminism and Virginia Woolf studies, an experience which informs my current creative projects and work in media, digital and transmedial ecologies.
