Nancy Mauro-Flude sister0@dyne.org

Greetings \0/.
Based in lutruwita/Tasmania, I’m a consultant, artist and writer.
I’m passionate about codesigning strategies for public engagement exploring the holistic possibilities of emerging science and technology innovations to advance place-based economies.

It is my conviction that artists have a rich repertoire of strategies and a prodigious contribution to make to the economy as marginal yet powerful actors for rethinking what business and economics could mean. The projects that I devise tactically ask what other fundamentally different habits of trade and economy could be possible. And, if these were here all along, how could we reignite them?

My insights draw on extensive international experience in the free software movement, the creative industry and academia networks. Right now, I am focused on initiatives that combine user experience (UX) methods with sustainability outcomes: low-carbon computing, energy standards in arts communications infrastructure, product life cycle assumptions (e.g. the right to repair and reuse) and reducing the carbon intensity of UX communications and research.

Drawing upon feminist traditions of knowledge production and cooperation for public engagement and outreach (such as combining yarning and digital literacy sewing circles) to raise awareness about bio-socio-cultural dimensions of the impact of digital infrastructure.

I spent a decade applying human-centred expertise to digital inequality which is a complex, evolving and critical issue where an informed, and socially engaged population has the potential to develop and grow. I co-founded the first-ever feminist-run webserver systerserver.net

I am available to speak, consult or write, on any of these topics.
