After crowding around the front of his local arcades for a turn on the Mortal Kombat machines as a child, I proceeded to grow up to and watch those very same arcades wither away. Since then, I've taken a keen interest in the changing relationships that people have with technology, particularly the impact of early electronic media experiences on contemporary economic and social practices. This interest led me to pursue an M.A. at New York University's department of Media, Culture and Communication, researching the emulation, reproduction, and migration of digital artifacts into new environments.
