Top SchoolHelen Burgess is a professor and critical maker with over a decade of academic experience researching and teaching new media cultures, electronic literature, and net art. As editor of Hyperrhiz and Hyperrhiz Electric she curates and critiques experimental media practice, bringing a utopian xenofeminist perspective to scholarship and creative projects. Her career spans faculty roles at North Carolina State University, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and Washington State University Vancouver, combining rigorous PhD-level literary theory with hands-on digital making. Based in Raleigh, she foregrounds craft and criticality in networked arts rather than conventional LinkedIn networking.
