전기 및 작가의 여정
Jenny Odell is an Oakland-based writer, artist, and former educator whose work grew out of the Bay Area’s unusual overlap of technology, infrastructure, and ecology. Raised in Cupertino, she grew up around the tech industry—her mother worked at Hewlett-Packard—while also being encouraged toward long stretches of reading, drawing, and close observation. Teachers recognized that temperament early, and she later carried it into formal study, earning a B.A. in English literature from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008 and an MFA in design from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2010. Her early visual practice often used Google Maps and other online imagery to examine how digital systems shape everyday life.
