Developed Storyspace, a hypertextual computer program, in collaboration with author andeducator Michael Joyce. I am currently conducting research with other professors in the GVU on multimedia systems for collaborative writing and on the use of text and speech in computer-controlled virtua lenvironments. Graduate teaching includes courses in the rhetoric of electronic environments and multimedia design. Primary interest is in the aesthetics, theory and practice of performance, digital media and video art. I am also a professional videographer and theatre artist.
Graduate teaching includes video production, media theory, and digital aesthetics.
Gromala's critical analyses of virtual media are informed by her work as an artist and designer in VR and other experimental digital forms. Gromala's most recent article maps the diverse theoretical antecedents of visual culture as they relate to new media. Gromala's pedagogical approach emphasizes the productive ways in which the experiential and theoretical aspects of new media inform each other. During her Fulbright Fellowship in New Zealand, Gromala taught graphic design, computer science, and media studies students the cultural aspects of interface design. In addition, she examined the complex uses of technology in the national museum, Te Papa.
