About

Angela Ndalianis is a leading scholar in the fields of media archaeology, transmedia storytelling, and the aesthetics of contemporary visual culture. Her work bridges classical narrative theory with digital and immersive media, examining how older entertainment forms—such as the baroque, the carnivalesque, and the cinematic spectacle—re-emerge in modern video games, theme parks, and digital franchises. She is perhaps best known for her concept of "neo-baroque" aesthetics, which she uses to analyze the complex, labyrinthine structures of contemporary media. Her major contributions include rethinking the relationship between historical art forms and new media, and her research has been widely cited, with her most influential works accumulating hundreds of citations. Beyond her academic writing, Ndalianis has curated exhibitions and contributed to public discourse on media history. Her work on David Bowie, as seen in *David Bowie On-Screen* (co-edited, 2018), demonstrates her ability to apply her theoretical frameworks to iconic cultural figures, exploring how Bowie's performances and screen appearances challenged traditional boundaries between artist, audience, and medium.
