Ms Marloes De Valk

Marloes de Valk (NL) is a software artist and researcher 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 is a PhD researcher at the Centre for the Study of the Networked Image at London South Bank University, in collaboration with The Photographer's Gallery, looking into the material impact of the networked image on the climate crisis and a rich diversity of practices that aim at a lower environmental footprint of information technology.
