Tuesday Lim
PhD Candidate
Bio:
Tuesday is drawn to mourn(ing/fulness) as an affective and theoretical corner in which digit(ality/ization), archiv(es/ing), and play(fulness) come to dwell, oftentimes [and indeterminately] together. She endeavors to ligament her lifelong love of video games to intellectual commitments concerning information preservation, its affordances in a digital age, and its manifestation in gam(ing/e-making) as [a] performance [practice], which is doubtlessly cradled by materialities preceding and following it.
Why Performance Studies at NYU?
A mentor of mine mentioned this notion of the “strange intimacy,” or something like it. If not “strange,” I believe they said “unlikely.” The pursuit of this notion, and the (strange/unlikeli/related)ness it carries is what binds me to [the] performa((nc/tiv)e). The intra-acti(on/ng) of the ghostly, the machinic, the bodily–I find that their co(nv)alescence e/merges here.
