Jenny Odell is an Oakland-based writer, visual artist, and involuntary birdwatcher whose work often involves the rewards of close observation. In 2015, she was an artist in residence at Recology SF (the San Francisco dump), where she created the Bureau of Suspended Objects, an obsessively-researched archive of 200 discarded objects. She teaches internet art at Stanford, was recently an artist in residence at the San Francisco Planning Department, and her NYT bestselling book, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy, was published by Melville House in 2019.
