Maureen Nappi serves as an Associate Professor at Long Island University, where she integrates arts and technology through a feminist lens as an artist, scholar, and activist. Her work critically examines technology-humanity relationships, spiritualism as activist motivation, and intersections of feminism with racial equality, with international exhibitions at MoMA, Franklin Institute, and ACM SIGGRAPH venues.
She earned her B.F.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from New York University, developing an aesthetic framework for computer arts in her dissertation Language, Memory and Volition: Toward an Aesthetics of Computer Arts. Her scholarly focus spans Arts-Technology integration, Media Theory, Women's Studies, and Myth/Fairy Tale analysis.
Research demonstrates consistent engagement with feminist cybernetics and digital art history, particularly through analyses of pioneers like Shulamith Firestone and Lillian F. Schwartz. Her Leonardo publications reveal evolving exploration of gesture, color theory, and stereoscopy in computational artistic expression across five decades.
Honors include:
