Summary
👤
SeniorJohn Cayley is a Professor of Literary Arts at Brown University who directs the Digital Language Arts track, blending decades of scholarship with experimental electronic writing and literary hypermedia. With over 30 years of experience spanning research librarianship at the British Library, specialist bookselling, and academic leadership, he brings a rare combination of deep bibliographic knowledge and digital poetics. Based in Providence, he focuses on writing, research, and teaching that interrogate language, media, and computation, often approaching technology with marked skepticism about mainstream platforms. His career signals an unusual bridge between traditional textual curation and avant-garde digital practice, making him as at home with historical archives as with emergent forms of electronic literature.
