Cindy Poremba is a digital media researcher, gamemaker and curator. They are an Associate Professor (Digital Futures) at OCAD University (Tkaronto/Toronto, CA) and Co-Director of OCAD’s game:play Lab.
Cindy has presented internationally at conferences, festivals and invited lectures, on topics relating to game art and curation, capture in postmedia practices, and interactive documentary. Their award-winning game and “New Arcade” work, independently and as a member of the kokoromi experimental videogame collective, has been featured in both international game and digital art exhibitions.
Dr. Poremba’s forthcoming book, Capture Matters (Bloomsbury), looks at the new ways capture comes to matter in digital media. It invites creators and audiences to envision capture in radically new ways— not only to create new forms of hybrid capture, but as part of an essential renewal of our relationship with captured images.
