Cyanne van den Houten is a Netherlands-based media artist exploring the hidden layers of technology through queer, feminist, and open-source perspectives. Embracing a hacker’s ethos, they work hands-on with zombie electronics, rogue AI, and experimental storytelling to expose the power structures embedded in algorithms and devices. Their large-scale interactive installations connect cyber-sculptures with chatbots, archives, and game environments, creating mystical spaces where machines respond unpredictably. As co-founder of Telemagic media-art-collective and member of Rotterdam’s.zip space, they foster collaborative explorations of digital culture and creative sustainability in the age of automation.
