Cyanne VAN DEN HOUTEN

biography /

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 most recent solo exhibition Model Collapse (with Ymer Marinus) 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.

Cyanne 是來自荷蘭的媒體藝術家,擅於從 DIY 電子製作和生成式演算系統着手,揭露纏繞在線路間的權力結構。他們創作的大型互動裝置立足於酷兒身分、女性主義和噪音想像之間,利用網絡協定,將電子雕塑連接到聊天機械人、網絡庫藏和遊戲場景等。他們藉構建一個既神秘又身歷其境的空間,放大機器日益形成的感知,予觀眾交流對話。

他們亦透過創辦媒體藝術群體 Telemagic 和位於鹿特丹的藝術家自營空間 .zip,並舉辦藝術研究、共享器材、黑客松(hackathon)等活動,啓發對數碼文化的共同探索。

他們最近與 Ymer Marinus 合作舉辦展覽《Model Collapse》,將人工智能以挖掘地球資源為主的基建結構,化身成佈滿電子遺跡的生成地景,回應科技供應鏈中的虛幻、偏見、運算極繁主義(compute maximalism)和勞工議題。
