Sue Johnson worked as a documentary photographer before meeting Cornyn, a fellow student, at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program in 1995. Johnson's photography examines the impact of economics on rituals within different cultures including quinciñeras, pilgrimages, marriages and debutante balls. Johnson's interactive video installation, Window Pane, was presented by Creative Time’s Arts in the Anchorage in Brooklyn, New York (1997), and The Impakt Festival in Utrecht, Holland (1998). Johnson's web project Chant was awarded a Finishing Fund Grant from the Center for Experimental Television in NY and was exhibited as a physical installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville, Fl. (1998). Johnson has taught photography and new media at Harvard University and City College. She is a frequent lecturer at new media programs throughout New York City. Johnson has a B.A. from Harvard University in Visual and Environmental Studies and a Masters Degree from New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program. Johnson left Picture Projects in 2003 to pursue other interests.
