Dr. Victoria Simon joined 51³Ô¹Ï in August 2020. Simon examines the history and cultural politics of technological interfaces and software industries, drawing lines between the practices of developers, identity, disability, and democracy. She has a special focus on music and sound, and is currently working on her first book manuscript, titled From Difficulty to Delight: The Genealogy of Haptic Musical Screens.
Her latest research has been featured in the journal Amodern (an article on disability, avant-gardism, and the social meaning of the touchscreen), Television & New Media (a study on the intersection of music app aesthetics, videogame design, and queer theory), Communication, Culture & Critique (research on Twitter, videogames, and Shakespeare), From Xenakis’s UPIC to Graphic Notation Today (a chapter on historical paradigms of HCI for music composition), and Appified: Culture in the Age of Apps, (a chapter on user interface design and creative labor).
