As a sworn neophile, I started soldering out of the need to understand artistic processes of media artists who I worked with as a curator, art critic and theorist. DIY technologies drew me strongly to exploration of electronics, noisescapes, generative computer processes. I act out of the love for machines, ideological reasons, from a feminist perspective with socialist political believes, while keeping a realistic view on the contradictions and imposibilities of freedom from capitalist structures that DIY and DIWO proposes.
