Nancy Mauro-Flude is an artist, theorist and low-carbon computing consultant. Her research is driven by the demystification of technology and the ‘mystification’ that lies in and through the performance of the machinic assemblage. Grappling with the talismanic logics of island cultures, medium experimentation, and pedagogy form the basis of her work, where the computer is approached as a theatre machine.

Under various pseudonyms and in various cooperations, Nancy actively works to fuse radical forms of open culture by introducing experimental pedagogy with a particular focus on relatively conservative and weakly networked regions.

"...Gray magics, hijackings, driftings and seizures of power the sensitive and subversive subterfuges by which she urges, twists and explores the aesthetic politic of the open source spirit" (Anne Goldenberg, 2013) ".dpi feminist journal of art and digital culture."
