Suzanne Black teaches in the Department of English at Purdue University. Her two main areas of research are scientific and technical communication and twentieth-century poetry and science. She is currently finishing a book manuscript which uses the philosophy of science to theorize epistemology in modernist poetry. Her Bragg essay forms part of a second project, a collection of essays on the visual rhetoric of biotechnology and molecular biology.
Orit Halpern is a Historian of Science at the New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College in New York. Her research examines the relations between aesthetics, memory, and the archive in digital media. She is currently working on a genealogy of interactivity, exploring temporality, perception, and representation in scientific and aesthetic practices in the second half of the 20th century. As part of her work as a historian, she is also interested in digital cinema and multi-media documentary, contemporary art practice, animation, and literature. She works closely with her brother, Tal Halpern, who is a writer and an artist. Their work has been shown at such venues as ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany, and C-Theory.
