Carl Goodman is Curator of Digital Media and Director of New Media Projects at the American Museum of the Moving Image (http://www.movingimage.us) in Astoria, New York, where he oversees the Museum's exhibitions and applications of computer-based media and technology. Among the exhibitions Carl has organized at the Museum are Computer Space, a history of video games, and DigitalMedia, a gallery of software- and internet-based art. Goodman produced the interactive exhibits in Behind the Screen, the Museum’s 8,000-square-foot core exhibition, which explores the art, craft, and technology of motion picture and television production. Other digital/online projects developed for the Museum include eDocent, a portable, wireless information prototype for use in the Museum's galleries, and The Living Room Candidate, an online exhibition presenting fifty years of presidential campaign television commercials. Carl sits on the boards of directors of the arts organizations Creative Time, a producer of public art installations in New York City, and Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center, which cultivates artistic talent through electronic and digital technologies.
