WALKER P. DOWNEY
ABOUT ME
I am an interdisciplinary scholar writing on art, music, and technology, and an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Art Education, Art History, & Media Studies at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
I received my PhD in the History, Theory, and Criticism of Architecture and Art from MIT in 2022.
RECENT NEWS
I am currently collaborating with historian Katsushi Nakagawa (Yokohama National University) on an article mapping the development of sound art in Japan. It will appear in the last of six volumes comprising A Cultural History of Asian Art, an expansive cross-historical survey due out in 2028 through Bloomsbury.

Madness thundery gist of dream and dross
Ring where the cave of future rings
Cherry between me and the boogeyman Nothingness
My wind-tossed head a flurry of feathers
Shoots sparks as hammers strike anvil
Dazzled by undeserving pure gold fortune
Stormy hammers surround it
Crown it with the fresh forged
Hot circlet of the infamous calling of misfortune
In chunks of the infamous calling of misfortune
In chunks of dripping scarlet pain
I’m terrified all this splendor
Will make it pop
