Maryam Muliaee is a media artist-scholar based in Buffalo, New York. She is co-founding editor of MAST. Her work is multidisciplinary, ranging from video/sound installation to experimental animation, xerography, and locative media. She got her PhD in Media Study (a practice-based research program that combines media art creations with theoretical investigations) from the University at Buffalo in 2020, where she also has taught courses in video/sound production, as well as film and media theory seminars since 2015. Her interest in media archaeology has informed her recent publications including book chapters and articles on failure and non-communication aesthetics in media art (with Peter Lang and Bloomsbury Publishing, as well as peer-reviewed journals such as Ekphrasis). She was the recipient of Dissertation Fellowship Award from the UB Gender Institute (2019-2020) for her doctoral project “Feminist Media Archaeology in Artistic Practice.” Since 2016, Maryam has served as researcher, art director and animator of the Buffalo Documentary Project, and as the co-founding curator of Media-as-things, a collective art-based research project focused on media archaeology, error, noise and artistic modes of repurposing obsolete media into artistic assemblages.
