Jacqueline Goss makes movies and web-based works that explore how political, cultural, and scientific systems change the way we think about ourselves. For the last few years she has used 2D digital animation techniques to work within the genre of the animated documentary. Her most recent videos are How To Fix The World—a look at Soviet-sponsored literacy programs in 1930's Central Asia, and Stranger Comes To Town—an animated documentary about the identity-tracking of immigrants and travelers coming into the United States. A native of New Hampshire, she attended Brown University and Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute. She teaches in the Film and Electronic Arts Department at Bard College in the Hudson Valley of New York. She is a 2008 Tribeca Film Institute Media Arts Fellow and the 2007 recipient of the Herb Alpert Award in film and Video.
