Claudia Costa Pederson lives in Ithaca where she is preparing her dissertation on the work of artists using digital games and play for social critique at the History of Art and Visual Studies Department, Cornell University. Originally from Lisbon, she lived in the north of Portugal, The Hague, and Los Angeles. Along the way she picked up a few languages, and an interest in examining histories about the relationship of media with artistic and social energies. Before focusing on Art History, she produced radio and video works in collaboration with women artists and political refugees involved with the squatting movements in the Netherlands and Germany. She also worked in political organizing. Nowadays, she likes to think of her work as a media archeology. She can be contacted at ccp9@cornell.edu
