maralie received her BFA in Sculpture from KCAI and her MFA in Digital + Media from RISD. her entrancement with liminality in cultures, genders, and technologies became the basis of her master’s thesis, Engendered Machines and Humanbeasts. in it she charted a short history of human-machine interaction in sound and performance including the noisy creations of Elsa Von Freytag-Loringhoven, a gender transgressive costume designer/sculptor/poet/performance artist hailing from the early 19th century. maralie’s background in sculpture, performance, textiles and experimental music all combine into multi-mediated works that examine the evolution of ritual and emotional expression through technology. this includes translating her frustrated relationship with programming into performance and documenting it as Processing code. currently she performs as 1 half of humanbeast with Eli V.
