In this episode, we speak with Casondra Sobieralski a lecturer at San Francisco State Universities’ Digital Media and Video Art Departments. She is also a visiting lecturer at Northeastern University (which is where Mills College was in Oakland). She has an MFA (A Masters of Fine Arts) in Conceptual & Information Arts, and a PhD Film & Digital Media. Her work examines the intersections of Media Studies, Archaeology, and media archaeology. She has done a video installation for adults about climate change and is now creating a multiplayer game so that youths from around the world could play in the same immersive space while also learning about environmental concerns and what they can do in the process.

The video installation was called Atargatis’s Siren (we’ll talke more about Atargatis in this episode) In “Atargatis’s Siren,” the Eastern Mediterranean Sea itself serves as media, delivering information about climate change via warming regional water temperatures, the consequential inundation of invasive tropical species, and rising sea levels. Her current focus is in Immersive digital storytelling (video installation, 360 video, AR (augmented reality) & /MR (mixed reality), sound mapping, women's history and archaeology; historical soundscapes; and digital heritage.
She has managed web re/design projects for several UC, Berkeley departments including The Bancroft Library, the Institute of Business and Economic Research, and the Office of Sustainability. Her roles included visual design, user experience design, graphic design, writing and editing content, video production, and photography.
