Christopher Santo Domingo Chan is a Doctoral Candidate in the Dept. of Anthropology at the University of Washington. He studies creative labor, aspiration, and disaffection under visual capitalism. His dissertation project thus examines the aesthetic, algorithmic, and material labor of camera work, audiovisual editing, and audience marketing at Cut.com, a digital streaming video startup in Seattle, WA that produces content for global audiences on YouTube. Chan formerly worked as a visual anthropologist at Cut.com and has developed and worked on on the series 100 Years of Beauty, Kids Try, Dirty Data, and Parents Explain. We are so excited to welcome Chan’s guest lecture about the intersection of anthropology and media at LUX: Film Production Club!
