After completing his doctoral studies, Bruno Lessard went on to a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship at York University. As a scholar, he has published extensively on diverse topics such as digital media arts, digital games, contemporary cinema, and Chinese photography. His forthcoming book with the University of Toronto Press is titled “The Art of Subtraction: Digital Adaptation and the Object Image.” Lessard’s current research project concerns images of China made by filmmakers and photographers who have documented the great socio-cultural and environmental changes China has undergone within the last twenty years or so.
