cyanne van den houten is a media artist from the netherlands. they work hands-on with DIY electronics and generative algorithmic systems to expose embedded power structures. rooted in queer, feminist, and noise ideologies, their large-scale interactive installations connect cyber-sculptures with chatbots, archives, and game environments through networked protocols. they create mystical, immersive spaces in which audiences can enter into dialogue with magnified aspects of our increasingly sentient-seeming machines. as founder of the media-art collective telemagic and the rotterdam artist-run space .zip, they foster collaborative explorations of digital culture through artistic research, tool-sharing, and hackathons. their recent solo exhibition model collapse transformed the extractive, earthbound infrastructure of AI into a generative landscape filled with digital relics, addressing mystification, bias, compute maximalism, and labor in technological supply chains.
