Nina Yanez has worked as an artist using technology in design, architecture, and interactive work for nearly a decade. Following a period of rehabilitation, she's attempting to use her experience to deconstruct and attack the male dominated culture surrounding technology. She believes in empowering artists, queers, women, and people of colour, to use technology in a way that demystifies patriarchal myths. However she's mostly just a sensitive cat lady.
