General information
After finishing a PhD on the history of museum presentation in the visual culture of the 19th and 20th centuries (Erasmus University Rotterdam, 2004) I am now working as Associate Professor in the department of Media Studies. Besides teaching film-related courses in the BA programme Media en Cultuur, I am director of the international, professional MA programme Preservation and Presentation of the Moving Image. My research focuses on the preservation and use of audiovisual collections. I am currently finishing an edited volume on media art preservation and exhibition (Preserving and Exhibiting Media Art: Challenges and Perspectives, AUP, forthcoming in 2012) and a monograph (Performing the Archive: Tracing Audiovisual Heritage in the Digital Age, see under research) in which I study the impact of digitization on the epistemology of the audiovisual archive. Besides, I am developing research projects on the role of audiovisual media in the documentation, adjudication and remembrance of severe cases of injustice (The Audiovisual Memory of (In)Justice) and on the conservation of computer-based art.
During the first half of 2010 I worked as a Fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study (NIAS) in Wassenaar. I am affiliated with the Association of Moving Image Archivists, the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis, the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Analysis, the Netherlands Research School for Media Studies, the Huizinga Institute for Cultural History and the European Network for Cinema and Media Studies. At present I am Chair of the Publications Committee of the Association of Moving Image Archivists and member of the Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art Research and the International Network for Trans-disciplinary Research (INTR). Besides, I am editor of the Dutch Tijdschrift voor Mediageschiedenis (Journal of Media History).
