## Marloes de Valk
![Photo by: Lichtgut/Oliver Willikonsky ](marloes/SudDeutscheZeitung_portrait-bw-320x.webp )
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 is a PhD researcher at the [Centre for the Study of the Networked
Image at London South Bank University](https://www.centreforthestudyof.net/), in collaboration with [The
Photographer's Gallery](https://thephotographersgallery.org.uk/), looking into the material and social impact of
the networked image on the climate crisis, with special attention to the
entanglements between greenwashing - the misdirection of attention and
efforts in tackling the crisis - and the increasing energy and resource
consumption associated with the circulation of networked images. Typical
of those in the post-despair stage, she experiments with sustainable
ways of publishing her findings.
Marloes has participated in exhibitions internationally, teaches
workshops, gives lectures (a.o. at Transmediale and Chaos Communication
Congress) and has published articles on Free/Libre/Open Source Software,
free culture, art and technology (a.o. in the Contemporary Music Review
and Artnodes). In 2018 she was the winner of the Hash Award, an
international production award granted by ZKM and Akademie Schloss
Solitude. As a member of artist collective GOTO10, she has helped
develop the puredyne GNU/Linux distribution and Make Art festival.
Together with Aymeric Mansoux she is editor of the publication
FLOSS+Art, published early 2009. She is part of Plutonian Corp., La
Société Anonyme and Iodine dynamics.
