Overview
Rebecca Uliasz is an artist and PhD Candidate in the department of Computational Media, Arts and Cultures at Duke University.

Her dissertation project looks at how speculation as a post-cybernetic technical infrastructure and cultural aesthetic is linked to shifts in the way technology is accumulated as capital with 21st century media like artificial intelligence and planetary computing. She is broadly interested in the political economy of computing, cybernetics, media ecology, new media aesthetics, and post humanisms
