msdm (mobile strategies of display & mediation) is an artistic research and publishing platform developed by paula roush.
It operates as a mobile framework for thinking with images — as material, relational, and epistemic processes — across publishing, fieldwork, and experimental image-making.
Projects developed through msdm engage ecological systems, post-industrial landscapes, archives, and computational processes, often combining situated, tactile protocols with algorithmic and language-based systems.
msdm functions as both a working studio and an editorial space, supporting long-term, speculative, and participatory practices that unfold over time.
