Michael Mandiberg

Professor of Media Culture at College of Staten Island/CUNY

Michael Mandiberg (b. 1977, Detroit) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work manifests the poetics and politics of our digital world. Mandiberg works within systems to make visible processes that are often hidden in plain sight, or on public web servers. While technically sophisticated, their projects exceed novelty to make propositions about how these tools, and the ideologies undergirding them, shape our lives. This non-binary approach crosses media and evades stable categorization: from large-scale installations like Print Wikipedia’s 7,473 books, to custom software driven durational performance like Quantified Self Portrait, to socially engaged pedagogy like the New York Arts Practicum. They co-founded Art+Feminism, an international collaboration that takes place at The Museum of Modern Art, and hundreds of venues around the world.

Their projects have been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, New Museum, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Arizona State University Museum and Library, Denny Dimin Gallery, Eyebeam, and Transmediale, amongst others, and are in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Stedelijk Museum and 21c Museum. Their work has been written about widely, including in Artforum, Art in America, ARTnews, The New York Times, and The New Yorker.

Their writing focuses on digital media, collaboration, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. They co-authored Digital Foundations, edited The Social Media Reader, and have facilitated collectively written texts, including Here and Now for Social Text, where they are on the editorial collective.

Mandiberg is the recipient of a LACMA Art+Technology Lab grant, three Eyebeam fellowships, a Mellon fellowship at the CUNY Graduate Center, numerous Wikimedia Foundation grants, and commissions from Rhizome, and Turbulence.org.
