I am interested in how the language-image relationship in poetry and narrative has evolved during major technological shifts, especially the transition to print and the digital computer.
As part of the development team for ELMS, I have theorized and implemented better methods of describing born-digital art for people with disabilities, work that continues with a grant from the Society of American Archivists in summer of 2023.My writing has appeared in publications such as The Future of Text, Vol. 3, and the Journal of Marlowe Studies. As "rdsnyder," I have published poetry and visual art in venues like The New River Journal, Taper, and the Virtual Museum of Posthumanist Art.
Recent curatorial work includes The Alan Sondheim Collection (April 2023) and The Ephemera of Electronic Art (Spring 2022).
