Kayleigh Perkov is a design historian who studies the intersection of craft and technology. She received her PhD from the Department of Visual Studies at the University of California, Irvine. Her dissertation, “Giving Form to Feedback: Craft and Technology circa 1968–1974,” examined the impact of information-age  technology upon craft practice, arguing that the projects that emerged serve as important precursors to the personal technology we know today. She is currently working on a book project that extends this research. Kayleigh was a recent curatorial fellow with the Center for Craft, a visiting scholar at the Feminist Research Institute at UC Davis, and is a member of the editorial board for The Journal of Modern Craft. Her work has been published in Art in America and Art Jewelry Forum as well as in exhibition catalogues from the Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), the Museum of Art and Design (New York), and the Museum Frieder Burda (Baden-Baden, Germany), among others.
