He explores topics such as quantification, axiomatics, abstraction, and their impact on art, architecture, and media studies.
Stewart’s scholarship engages figures like Max Bense, Hanne Darboven, Frei Otto, and the design pedagogies of the Ulm School of Design. His work has been published in journals including October, Grey Room, and ZMK. He teaches courses on media and modernity, psychoanalysis in literature, Walter Benjamin’s theories of subjectivity under capitalism, and German art/media theory.
Stewart holds a joint PhD in German and the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities from Princeton University. He was a Fulbright Scholar at the IKKM in Weimar, Germany (2018–2019). His research bridges disciplines like cultural history, media philosophy, and critical theory.
