She is currently Assistant Professor of New Media at Purchase College, State University of New York, and co-founder of the art, technology and activist group Preemptive Media. Brooke is interested in emerging technologies not only because they are fun but also because they are contingent and malleable.

Her work seeks to provide public access to important social issues that often are characterized as specialized or "for experts only."
