Schedule 34th Chaos Communication Congress

Marloes de Valk (NL) is a software artist and writer in the post-despair stage of coping with the threat of global warming and being spied on by the devices surrounding her. Surprised by the obsessive dedication with which we, even post-Snowden, share intimate details about ourselves to an often not too clearly defined group of others, astounded by the deafening noise we generate while socializing with the technology around us, she is looking to better understand why.

She has participated in exhibitions internationally, teaches workshops, gives lectures and has published articles on Free/Libre/Open Source Software, free culture and art (a.o. in the Contemporary Music Review and Archive 2020). She is a former member of artist collective GOTO10, has helped develop the puredyne GNU/Linux distribution and make art festival. She is editor of the Digital Artists’ Handbook and the publication FLOSS+Art, published early 2009. She is part of Plutonian Corp and La Société Anonyme.
