Eliza Gelinas: Access Services: Media Services Associate
they/them/theirs | eagLO@hampshire.edu
Eliza most recently joined us as our new Access Services Associate for Media! Eliza grew up here in Western Massachusetts. They received a Master's degree from the University of Hartford in the Spring of 2021, with a concentration in music composition. At the Hartt School of Music, Eliza organized multiple concerts, scored music for a theatre production, and produced a collection of audio0visual projects that feature dance, animation, and poetry. Their Master's thesis project was a multimedia visual album called GRAY AREA that addressed concepts of gender, mental health, and post capitalist society through the lens of cute animated characters and experimental electronic music. This work has recently been displayed at the DIY Film Festival in Long Beach, CA, House of Shadows Gallery in Tampa,FL, Composer's Festival of Hartford, CT, and at the University of Berlin, Studium Generale. Integrating multiple forms of media, sound production and craft to help students achieve this is what drew them to the Media department at Hampshire College,
In their free time, Eliza loves taking care of plants, painting, and listening to music. They love to learn all there is to know about a new piece of technology and share it with whoever will listen, which is why they are excited to provide consultations and facilitate workshops for production and live sound equipment as well as assist with media displays for Gallery exhibitions in the Media Services role. Eliza is hoping to empower students to experiment an think outside the box, while instilling a sense of collective ownership and responsibility for equipment and facilities as a shared resource. Please stop by the Media Services office to meet them!
