Research Interest
Scott’s areas of interest include avant-garde and experimental cinema and digital media art, critical theory and phenomenology, and contemporary film and media theory. His research and teaching often mix considerations of high and low, mixing (for example) midcentury experimental film with videogames and blockbusters. He has published on Jackass, Spider-Man, Candy Crush, Andy Warhol, and Tony Conrad. His work has appeared, among other places, in Discourse, World Picture, and the Journal of Visual Culture. His first book, Cinema’s Bodily Illusions: Flying, Floating, and Hallucinating, is published by the University of Minnesota Press. Scott regularly teaches about digital media aesthetics and film and media theory, including classes entitled “New Media,” “Networks and Feelings,” and “Media, Technology, Control.”
