The new issue of @romchip.bsky.social is out, and includes new work by me on the history of video game screenshots and the way we photographed our game screens to capture images of ourselves: romchip.org/index.php/ro...

The rest of the issue is fantastic, check it out!

Excited to be in New York for this Eyebeam event on January 23rd. It isn't open but it's a wonderful group of artists and scholars to be in conversation with, and I'm sticking around to see friends and colleagues for a few days after. Let me know if you'll be around!

Teaching a unit on generative AI in my "Cinema After Digitization" class today and we spent a really long time in class watching this video of John Goodman dancing to JoJo's "Too Little Too Late" www.instagram.com/p/DCdOwjquu_e/

There's a video of me lecturing on/screening Skibidi Toilet in my digital cinema class that has gone semi-viral on tiktok and students keep telling me that they saw it.
