Baker Artist Portfolios

Daly currently lives in Baltimore MD and works as an adjunct professor of Electronic Media and Culture at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She is a recent graduate of the Photographic and Electronic Media MFA program at MICA and also holds a BFA in graphic design from James Madison University in Harrisonburg VA. Her current body of work examines how the development of the online social world is affecting identity and social behavior. By creating interactive machines reminiscent of outdated technology, she addresses the contradictions present in various social media that are at once ephemeral and entirely permanent. Interactivity and the vocabulary of minimalist sculpture are key elements of her installations that challenge the viewer to look beyond the user-friendliness of online technology and consider what their participation in it means.
