About the Amuseum:

The Amuseum is a research-based media project exploring the crossroads of consciousness and materiality, magic and science, history and memory. I’m drawn to defining the ambiguous and the multivalent—to subjective experiences and fragmented histories.

It’s a space where I share my own research and speak with academics, scholars, writers, and artists about their work in these areas.

 The Amuseum’s writings are usually my own thoughts and musings, shared as blog posts and Substack notes. You can subscribe [here]. The interviews typically appear as podcast episodes—listen [here], or on the platform of your choice. My studies often culminate in video essays, which you can watch [here].

About Daniella Sorrentino

I’m a lifelong independent learner, media producer, and director. I’m most comfortable playing devil’s advocate—I tend to be argumentative and enjoy being provocative. I’m a die-hard pluviophile, biblio/cinephile, ritualist, and animist. You’ll find me lurking in museums, galleries, libraries, thrift stores, and anywhere a good G&T is served.
