Wunderkammer, Cornell, & the Visual Canon of Arrangement <2009>
Designing constructive digital media is a process of mapping and remapping our physical and conceptual worlds in order to determine their meaning. When readers become composers, when users become designers, they may construct for themselves both a digital Wunderkammer of evidence and the potential associative connections available through arrangement and manipulation of that evidence. This project, published in Kairos in January 2009, discusses these issues and translates them into praxis.

When Revision Is Redesign: Key Questions for Digital Scholarship <2009>

Technologies of Wonder: Rhetorical Practice in a Digital World <2011>
A born-digital "book" project that considers the theoretical and pedagogical implications of designing academic scholarship in interactive digital media, and proposes renewed emphasis on embodied visual rhetoric and on the canon of arrangement as an active visual practice. This project uses the concept of the Wunderkammer to argue for techné and wonder as guiding principles for a revitalized visual canon of arrangement and as new models of invention and intervention in multimodal scholarly production.
