Career
Lori Emerson writes on and teaches experimental American and Canadian writing from the 20th and 21st centuries, the history of computing, and media theory.[2] She is also the founder of UC Boulder's Media Archaeology Lab.
The Media Archaeology Lab
The Media Archaeology Lab is a physical space on the UC Boulder campus that collects obsolete technologies in order to foster study and understanding of them. Carrying the motto "The past must be lived so that the present can be seen," the lab maintains all of these items in working order and allows them to be used at any time.[7] It houses the world's first portable computer, the Osborne 1, as well as video game consoles, typewriters, audiovisual materials, and audio equipment.[7] In exploring the ways in which the MAL both differs from and adheres to the expectations of a traditional archive, Emerson and coauthor Libi Striegl describe that the MAL "changes from year to year, depending on who is in the lab and what donations have arrived at our doorstep, and thus it undoes many assumptions about what archives as well as labs should be or do".[8]
