About
Tina Rivers is a Ph.D. candidate and instructor in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University in New York. With a background in the history of modernism, she specializes in art, film, and visual culture from the 1960s to the present day.
Her dissertation is the first major study of the emergence of "tech art" at New York City's Howard Wise Gallery in the 1960s, examining its importance to both post-war and contemporary art.
More broadly, her research interests include the rhetorical invocation of altered states of perception from Romanticism onwards; technology and the body; and the theorizations and uses of new media.
In addition to being a student and teacher, Tina has worked as a tour guide, guest curator, and research assistant, and has enjoyed lecturing on art to large public audiences.
