Jacqueline Lorber Kasunic

Jacqueline Lorber Kasunic is a design academic with a background in ethnographic and photographic practice. Her research combines design history and theory, material culture and visual forms of knowledge production. Her current research spans the intersection between design and the humanities, where the digitisation of content has created new opportunities for rethinking how we engage with and share digital collections and archives. Her work has appeared in journals including: Design Philosophy Papers, Journal of Design Research, Media/Culture and Studies in Material Thinking (forthcoming). She is currently working with the Humanities + Design Lab at Stanford University on a project titled ‘Writing Rights’, where she is using visualisation to translate text-based data into visual knowledge. Recent exhibitions include Durational Book (an investigation into the historical idea of the book beyond the codex) at the State Library of NSW, as part of ISEA 2013. Jacqueline is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building at the University of Technology Sydney. Her PhD in Design analysed colonial Australian images and their ongoing resonance in contemporary rural practices.
