Brady Ciel Marks is a computational artist from Cape Town (Khoisan), South Africa, working primarily in audiovisual practices, new media, and kinect art. Marks’ work often thematically engages with the fallibility and promise of technology, perspectives of virtual/actual and ecological place, and narratives of self orientation in the sciences. Concerned with how we live our lives in the face of technological encroachment, Brady experiments with media configurations that explore the inbetween of technological fetishism and dystopian fantasies. Calling herself a Cultural Prototyper, Brady provides tools for technological play through her work as an artist, educator, and DJ. She obtained an undergraduate degree in Computer Science from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and a Masters in Interactive Arts from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. As a graduate of Simon Fraser University taught by faculty including original members of the World Soundscape Project (WSP), and as a member of the Soundscape Collective at Vancouver Co-operative Radio, Marks is an inheritor of the WSP legacy of Acoustic Ecology. In addition to DJ-ing Queer Dance Music and frequently hosting the Soundscape Show on Co-op Radio, she is a member of the Vancouver Electronic Ensemble, and a curator of the Coda series of live coding events. Brady is based in Vancouver, on unceded, traditional and ancestral xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) territories.
