Danish artist and critical designer, Linda Hilfling, works with the premises of participation and public space within media structures, with a focus on means of control (codes, organisation and law) and their cultural impact. Her artistic practice takes the form of interventions which in humoristic and often absurd ways reflect on and reveal gaps within existing structures – the place where a system fails and its inadequacies become visible. Works range from concepts for using ATM-machines or surveillance cameras as local-media platforms to software interventions.

Linda Kronman is a media artist and PhD researcher in a digital humanities project called Machine Vision in Everyday Life at the University of Bergen.

Since 2010 Linda Kronman and Andreas Zingerle have collaborated as artist duo Kairus exploring the use and abuse of technologies in their art.

Ling works at Tactical Tech in Berlin as a project coordinator on the Politics of Data team, where she organises activities and events, and does project work on Me and My Shadow (myshadow.org). Before joining Tactical Tech, Ling worked as an events organiser in the environmental field, and she has a Bachelor and Masters degree in environmental science.
