Roberta Buiani

Roberta Buiani is an educator, media activist and cultural theorist based in Canada. When she is not busy applying for another precarious academic job that “never quite fits” her profile, or teaching courses that she hasn’t designed, she helps animating local cultural events at the intersection between the arts, science and technology and plans various satirical media interventions (and clones of her university website “Megaphone Choir” and “YorkisUs”). She has a Master in Art History and a PhD in Communication and Culture both from York University (Toronto, Canada). Her work has been published on Public (31, 2005, special issue Digital Poetics and Politics), Fibreculture (2.2005), the Spam Book (Hampton Press, 2009), Reconstruction (10.3) and the Semiotics Review of Books (19. 2010).
