Christy Westhovens Chris[ty] (Christy Westhovens) works at the intersection of art, technology and society. With a critical eye and a screwdriver in hand, she investigates everyday devices to make the underlying technical, political, and social mechanisms visible. She researched common radio technologies such as the Bluetooth protocol to understand what data we unknowingly leave behind, and she investigated the impact of commercial satellite infrastructure on our night sky. Next to this, she focuses on developing tools for collective research and repurposing of 'smart' devices. Her work ranges from interactive installations and mechanical sculptures, to facilitating collective hacking sessions; always with the aim of questioning, understanding, and reclaiming control over our daily digital infrastructure.

Chris[ty] studied Fine Art in Maastricht, after which she completed her master's in ArtScience in The Hague. Currently she is a research fellow at the critical infrastructure lab at the University of Amsterdam and Utrecht University. https://christywesthovens.com/
