Over these weeks, I attended class as a student, with the final goal of helping curate an art exhibit with the students centered around what they would learn in class. […]

Upon closer inspection, you might notice that all-too-familiar pattern of smudge marks and fingerprints, a texture that is now a recognizable aspect of modern technological life, as our fingers swipe the various screens of […]
