Mark IJzerman is an interdisciplinary artist who investigates ecological themes through the use of technology. His work gives voice to the more-than-human world, exploring planetary processes such as eroding biodiversity and the impacts of warming waters. Through installations and audiovisual performances, IJzerman blends fieldwork, artistic research, and collaboration with experts from diverse fields, including biology, astronomy, and ecology. His practice incorporates living organisms, custom-built software, and film, creating dialogues that challenge the boundaries between technology and ecology. Influenced by speculative fiction, IJzerman examines the tensions between technological advancement and environmental degradation. His projects often feature interactive or live elements, where living ecosystems and digital media come together. This interplay prompts audiences to rethink their ecological relationships.

I’d also like to look back at a few highlights from September. All the best, Mark Workshop at FIBER: Brackish Networks Experimenting with brackish networking floats What if, instead of humming data centers, we had decentralised floating nodes? In this two-day lab at FIBER we’ll rethink computation and...
Dear Reader, I hope everyone had a good summer. There's a special performance coming up that I'd love to invite you to, plus some workshops — and I'd like to take a moment to look back at a few performances and exhibitions from the last few months!
