Allie E.S. Wist is a scholar-artist, currently in the interdisciplinary Arts PhD program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She focuses on sensory futures and materiality of the Anthropocene. Her work encompasses photography, radio broadcasts, artifacts, installations, and writing that render temporalities accessible through material and speculative narratives. Her current work is to create a sensory and material "anarchive" for the Anthropocene, using stratigraphy, discard studies, and sensory studies to frame alternative archival strategies. She has an MA in Food Studies from New York University and a BA in Media from Boston University, and worked in food media for over a decade. Her artwork has been exhibited with Honolulu Biennial, The Wellcome Collection, and HESSE FLATOW, and she has taught at NYU and The New School.
