She previously worked in museums, where she curated exhibitions including “Paris in 3D” (2000).
Her research explores the cultural history of photographic technologies. She is interested in what motivates the elaboration of specific forms of photography and in the social, artistic and scientific practices that structure their reception and development. She has published widely on these topics, including the book 3D and Animated Lenticular Photography: Between Utopia and Entertainment (De Gruyter, 2015) and articles and chapters on color in photography.
The 3rd International Conference on Stereo & Immersive Media focuses on visual and sound media renowned for their immersive features.
Stereo and immersive technologies have been widening the fields of photography and sound since the 19th century, contributing to the emergence of a progressively immersive media culture. This conference aims to bring together photography and sound research fields bridging their historical and contemporary relationship with expanded and immersive environments (e.g. panoramas, virtual reality, sound art).
The organizing committee invites scholars, researchers, artists, curators and archivists to submit paper presentations and posters addressing one of the following themes:
