She is actively engaged in educating the technological  imagination across cultural domains.<\/p>\n<p>This focus informs her practice as a scholar, researcher, new media  designer, and entrepreneur. She is currently a Full Professor of  Interactive Media in the School of Cinematic Arts, and of Communications  in the Annenberg School of Communications. From 2004-2007, she served  as the Director of the Institute for Multimedia Literacy at USC where  she created one of the first academic programs in multimedia literacy  across the curriculum. In 2002, she co-founded, Onomy Labs, Inc. a  Silicon Valley technology design and fabrication company that builds  cultural technologies. Here she was involved in the creation of novel  interactives for clients such as Sun Microsystems, the Liberty Science  Center, Singapore Science Center, and the Papalote Children\u00b9s Museum in  Mexico City. Previously she was a member of RED (Research on  Experimental Documents), a collaborative research-design group at Xerox  PARC who created experimental reading devices and new media genres. She  served as project manager and new media designer for the development of  RED\u2019s interactive museum exhibit, XFR: Experiments in the Future of  Reading that toured Science\/Technology Museums in the U.S. from  2000-2003. Her first book, Technologies of the Gendered Body: Reading  Cyborg Women (Duke UP, 1996) investigated the social and cultural  implications of emergent bio-technologies. Her new book Designing  Culture: The Technological Imagination at Work (Duke UP, forthcoming)  examines the relationship between the technological imagination,  cultural reproduction and technological innovation. Her current research  interests include the future of libraries and museums in a digital age,  the role of tinkering in knowledge-production, and the emergence of  public interactives as a new urban media form.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Anne Balsamo\u2019s work focuses on the relationship between the culture and technology.
