Zoya Street is studying for an MA at London’s Royal College of Art/Victoria & Albert Museum, where she carries out historical research into the production, consumption and design of video games in Japan in the 1990s.
Her papers have covered subjects such as swords in Final Fantasy games, and the role of materiality in virtual worlds, and her forthcoming dissertation will historically analyse the game-world of Sega’s pirate-themed RPG, Skies of Arcadia.
She recently started working as an editorial assistant at the blog GAMESbrief, and volunteers as interim editor at DapperQ.com.
Her forays into curating have included ‘Image Threads‘, a materialization of an online image board into a real-life installation at the Royal College of Art, and the Victoria and Albert museum’s ‘Tradition Transformed: Contemporary Korean Ceramics’. She has work experience in three museums; Chiba City Folk Museum and Chiba City Museum of Art in Japan, and Holon Design Museum in Israel.
In her spare time she enjoys Arduino hacking, analog photography, and drinking green tea from teeny tiny teacups.
