Marlies Wirth is a curator and art historian based in Vienna, specialising in digital culture and contemporary interdisciplinary practices. As Curator for Digital Culture and Head of the Design Collection at the MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, her work critically engages with the transformations of the Anthropocene through the lens of art, design and architecture. Her curatorial projects, including exhibitions such as “Uncanny Values. Artificial Intelligence & You”, “/imagine: A Journey into The New Virtual”, and “Troika. Terminal Beach”, explore the societal impacts of digital innovation and machine intelligence. She has contributed to major international platforms, notably co-curating the travelling exhibition Hello, Robot and representing Austria at the 22nd, 23rd and 24th Triennale Milano. Through lectures, publications and juries, she actively shapes contemporary discourse on the cultural dimensions of technology and ecology.
