Amanda Wasielewski

Amanda Wasielewski is a scholar of digital culture, art history, and computational aesthetics, currently Associate Senior Lecturer of Digital Humanities and Associate Professor (Docent) of Art History at Uppsala University, Sweden, where she has been based since 2023. She holds a PhD in art history from the Graduate Center, City University of New York (2019), an MA in Fine Art (Media) from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, and a BA from Northwestern University. She previously held positions at Stockholm University, the University of Amsterdam, and the City College of New York, and completed a postgraduate residency at De Ateliers, Amsterdam. Her research investigates the intersection of art history, digital technology, and machine learning, with particular attention to computational formalism, AI-generated imagery, photography theory after generative AI, and histories of tactical media and internet culture. Her book Computational Formalism: Art History and Machine Learning (MIT Press, 2023) examines how computer vision and deep learning reshape art-historical methods, while From City Space to Cyberspace: Art, Squatting, and Internet Culture in the Netherlands (Amsterdam University Press, 2021) traces the migration of Dutch activist culture from occupied buildings to online networks. Her forthcoming book Digital Photography After AI is due from MIT Press in 2026. She has also practiced as a visual artist, with work exhibited internationally. Homepage: amandawasielewski.com
