Meet the Team
Hello! I’m Professor Behar. I’m the founding Director and Curator of the New Media Artspace and I run Baruch’s New Media Arts Undergraduate Program. A favorite part of my role is collaborating with the Docent Team on every New Media Artspace exhibition, including student shows as well as shows by visiting artists. A course I love to teach is the NMA Capstone where I get to work with students to create their own exhibitions at the New Media Artspace. In my own creative work as an interdisciplinary artist and critical theorist of new media, I use feminism and materialism to explore digital culture. Currently, I’m working on interactive robotic installations, and I also work with sculpture, video, live performance, and more. You can see my art online at www.katherinebehar.com.
Hello! I'm Maya, the Gallery Manager at the New Media Artspace. I'm a Baruch CIS and NMA alum who has been with the docent team since 2018. I'm familiar with most of the tools you'll encounter in the NMA program and am happy to help out with anything web or graphics related! Outside the gallery, you'll find me dabbling in various arts and crafts (needlefelting at the moment), freelancing in web development and design, and doting on dogs.
Hello. My name is Delilah, and I am a senior majoring in Graphic Communication and minoring in New Media Arts. Since finding the NMA program I have found a place where my creativity can flow without a care in the world. I have learned so much in my time here, and I wish to share this comfort and openness to everyone, just as those in New Media Arts have done for me.
Hello! My name is Abeha and I’m a student at Baruch College majoring in Computer Information Systems with a minor in New Media Arts. I grew up drawing traditionally and began exploring creative software during my time at Baruch. I've taken the Intro to NMA, Animation, and Art Games and Virtual Worlds classes and have gained so much experience using different and vast programs for the arts. Currently my favorite programs to work with are Photoshop and Procreate. I'm excited to continue to learn, experiment with new software, and create many more projects as a Docent in the Artspace!
