Notas do episódio

Delaney McCallum grew up in Clemson, South Carolina. She attended Northwestern University, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Radio/Television/Film with concentrations in Media & Game Design, Comedy Arts, and Advanced Directing. In her art, she explores how memories interact with physical form. She doesn’t look back on memories with a nostalgic lens, but instead, plucks them out of their original context and reconstructs them in new ways. In the same way, she is often taking the image of her body from one point in time and suturing it together with the body of another. Through this manipulation of time and the corporeal, she investigates how physical and social contexts manipulate the female form, especially her own. What are the limits of the digital female body? Professionally, she is passionate about increasing accessibility to the fine arts world, and including digital interactive media in art scholarship. She is interested in design roles that allow her to influence the relationship between fine arts institutions and the public. In her free time, she is either doodling, pondering dog adoption, or watching RuPaul’s Drag Race. She has created a wide range of interactive work and animated short films, including "Mother Moon", "True Bad Stories", and "Organic Machines". She is currently finishing her undergraduate thesis film, "My Women See Ghosts" an animated documentary that explores the relationship between femininity and the supernatural.
