Rebecca Uliasz researches and teaches on media theory, digital culture, and the history and philosophy of technology. She is particularly interested in the relationship between technology, aesthetics, and labor, and how concepts of agency and value become reconfigured in the languages of information and code.

Her current research falls into two main themes. One deals with the histories and futures of uncertainty in and around AI. She is also researching the history of intellectual exchanges between venture capital, information theorists, and computer scientists with a focus on forms of conservatism often considered contradictory to globalization and network technologies.

She also maintains a creative practice focused on audio-visual noise performance, installation, and experimental research methodology, both individually and as part of the critical computational praxis unit Governance (co-founded with Quran Karriem in 2017).

She teaches classes in Philosophy and the Humanity and Technology program, and is interested in working with students, particularly on topics of digital culture and politics, continental philosophy and critical theory, media philosophy and aesthetics, and critical practice.

Her recent publications look at the relationship between digital media and climate knowledge (Media-N, 2025); the politics of AI-generated images, security, and preemption (The Journal of Media Art Study and Theory; 2022), the political economy of predictive algorithms on social media (Review of Communication; 2021), and the transnational politics of machine learning facial recognition systems in the United States and rural China (AI & Society; 2020). Additional publications and works have appeared in Experimental Practices: Encounters Across Arts, Sciences, and Humanities, transmediale, Studies in Art and Humanities Journal, Journal of Media Art & Science, Moogfest, and A Peer-Reviewed Journal About (APRJA). She received her Ph.D. in Computational Media, Arts & Cultures at Duke University in 2024 and MFA in New Media from State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2017.

Rebecca is a contributing member of the Experimental Humanities initiative.
