/ Jacob Gaboury /
Jacob Gaboury is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Film & Media at the University of California, Berkeley. His work engages the history of digital imaging technologies, along with queer and non-binary figures in the history of computing and mathematics. Other Screens explores the history of the computer screen as both a hardware object and interface for visual computing that has evolved and transformed over the past seventy years.

/ libi rose striegl / 
libi rose striegl is an artist and enthusiastic collector of contradictory opinions, interested in human relationships with technology. Reinforcing ubiquitous computing as the best–or only–way for the technological future has had a few consequences, and one of them is frustration. As computing has moved from devices that were notoriously buggy to ones that supposedly ‘just work’, introducing deliberate failure has become a strategy for retaining awareness of the machine and its materiality. 

Presented by the Media Archaeology Lab and hosted at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History, with generous support from CMCI and the Department of English.
