Cornell was born and raised in New York City. She started her career in the arts as the executive director of Ocularis, a now-closed cinema in Brooklyn, New York. [3]

[4] [5] Cornell curated Free, her first major exhibition for the New Museum in October 2010. Before stepping down as director of Rhizome, Cornell promoted discussion around the decentralization of new media art on the internet. After seven years at Rhizome, she stepped down as its director to serve as a full-time curator at The New Museum in 2012. [6]
She stepped down from her role at Rhizome in July 2012 to curate the New Museum's third Generational Triennial, Surround Audience, in 2015. [7]

In 2010, Cornell co-founded Rhizome's Seven on Seven conference with Fred Benenson, John Borthwick, and Peter Rojas.
