Victoria Szabo

 My primary teaching and research interests are in the intersection of digital humanities and computational media. My current projects focus on archives-driven, extended reality (XR) experiences in urban, exurban, and exhibition contexts, with ongoing attention to location-based augmented reality (AR), digital storytelling, and artificial intelligence (AI) in cultural heritage and media arts. I am Director of Graduate Studies for the Computational Media, Arts & Cultures PhD and of the Information Science + Studies Graduate Certificate and Lab. I am also a core member of the Digital Art History & Visual Culture Research Lab at Duke, and of the international Visualizing Cities collaborative. I am co-Director of the Duke-DKU Presence Lab, currently supported by the The Institute for Global Higher Education at DKU and Duke Bass Connections.

Recent collaborative digital projects include Digital Durham, NC Jukebox (NC mountain music), Ghett/App (architectural history of the Venetian Ghetto), A Worthy Place: Duke, Durham, and the World of the 1920s-30s, and Virtual Black Charlotte, in collaboration with Johnson C Smith University. A new project, Visualizing Lovecraft's Providence, explores the multimodal digital remediation of fictive places and spaces as a form of literary adaptation. I also co-create video game based art installations with Psychasthenia Studio, and engage in digital arts curation and exhibition projects within the digital arts community at ACM SIGGRAPH, where I am currently Chair of the Art Advisory Group and a member of the Digital Arts Community Committee.
