Jillina Harken is a researcher, designer, and writer exploring the cultural life of technology. Her work spans digital archaeology, media research, visual design, writing, and experimental storytelling.

Much of her research focuses on the infrastructures and artifacts that shape how people communicate and remember—particularly technologies that fade from everyday use but remain embedded in cultural memory. These interests have led to projects examining obsolete communication systems, interactive media, and the strange spaces where analog history meets digital culture.

Through both scholarly and creative practice, her work investigates technology not only as a tool, but as a landscape shaped by memory, infrastructure, and human experience.

lofi-liminal serves as a home for these projects, bringing together research, design, writing, and experimental work exploring technology, culture, and the liminal spaces between past systems and future networks.

Now based in the Metropolitan St. Louis area, Jillina Harken - founder of lofi-liminal - is open to creative collaborations and new opportunities.

Jillina completed her Master's in Emerging Media in May 2026.
