Since the inception of the New Media Lab in 1997, Andrea has been Managing Director of the facility, providing a place for graduate students and faculty from different disciplines to experiment - collectively and individually - with new media applications.
After the initial work of setting up a new facility in the University, the New Media Lab has grown into a stimulating intellectual and social environment that has played an important role in the world of emerging technologies. Innovative 3-D and Flash programming, online database and interactive applications, combined with recent scholarship in the sciences and humanities has marked several New Media Lab faculty and student projects as we attempt to bridge the gap between the database/archive and the spatial/exploratory projects which have characterized many past projects.
Since 1990, Andrea Ades Vásquez has been at the American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning as an artist, designer, and producer of multimedia materials and websites. Andrea is an Executive Producer and Artistic Director of The Lost Museum, the 3-D exploration of P. T. Barnum's American Museum. Her other work has included writing and audiovisual production for the WBA? CD-ROMs; co-writer and producer of Up South; co-director and artist for Heaven Will Protect the Working Girl and Savage Acts; and artist and designer of History Matters and other ASHP/CML websites.
