In 1994 Golding moved to Soho, London.[9] She has written and edited several books including Gramsci's Democratic Theory, The Eight Technologies of Otherness, [10] and On the Verge of Photography.[11] She produces public lectures presented in the form of sound/image installations, often in complete darkness.[12] Head of theory at the experimental post-academic institute, the Jan van Eyck (Maastricht) from 1998-2003, working with artist Steve McQueen, art historian Norman Bryson and philosopher-artist Sarat Marharaj.
