Alexa Bonomo

Alexa Bonomo is an Adjunct Professor (part-time) at the University of San Francisco's Department of Design, focusing on new media arts, internet poetics, and technoculture studies. She concurrently serves as Head of Education at Index Operations and contributes to Leonardo's archiving initiatives. Her work bridges digital and traditional art forms, including net art, creative coding, and handmade crafts like cyanotype printing and fiber arts. Bonomo holds an MFA in Design from UC Davis (2020) and a BFA in Digital Art and Design from Towson University (2017).

Her research explores existential themes in digital preservation, blending self-tracking data visualization with allegorical storytelling. Current projects include a lore/worldbuilding initiative and a writing practice via her 'The Moss Corpus' Substack. She prototypes artifacts that merge born-digital media with tactile craftsmanship, challenging transient digital culture through site-specific installations and interactive tools.

Publications emphasize human-centric data visualization methodologies for trauma-impacted populations. Collaborative efforts with Index and Leonardo underscore her commitment to archiving new media artworks and democratizing creative technology education.
