My curatorial work has been focused on digital art or, more broadly, art and technology, which by nature has made my practice highly collaborative. Digital curation always involves creating platforms of exchange — between artists, programmers, institutions, organizations, and audiences, among others. As digital technologies are evolving at a rapid pace, I follow the art created in that field to explore how technologies are and will be changing our society and culture. I strive to create a historical context for today’s digital art and to further integrate it into exhibitions.

Christiane Paul is Director/Chief Curator of Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, Associate Prof. at the School of Media Studies, The New School, and Adjunct Curator of New Media Arts at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
