Biography:
Anne Balsamo is Associate Director of the Stanford Humanities Lab and a founding partner of Onomy Labs, a Silicon Valley-based technology design firm. She has faculty affiliations with the Stanford University’s Center for Design Research and the Stanford University Feminist Studies Program. Until 2001, she was a principle scientist and a member of RED (Research on Experimental Documents) at Xerox PARC, where she did collaborative research on experimental documents and new media genres. She served as project manager and new media designer for the development of RED's touring museum exhibit, XFR: Experiments in the Future of Reading. Prior to joining the research staff at PARC, Balsamo was an associate professor in the School of Literature, Communication and Culture at the Georgia Institute of Technology where she taught courses in communication and culture, and science, technology and gender. She was also the Director of LCC's Graduate Program in "Information Design and Technology." Her first book, Technologies of the Gendered Body: Reading Cyborg Women (Duke, 1996) investigated the social and cultural implications of emergent bio-technologies. She is currently working on a new book titled, Designing Culture: A work of the Technological Imagination, that examines the relationship between cultural theory and the design of new media.
