Marloes van Son (b. 1991, The Netherlands) creates sound-objects, instruments and experimental music. Her artistic practice combines electronics, woodwork and sound in varying combinations. Through exhibitions, performances and workshops she explores interactions with everyday appliances and situations. Her interests include connections between humans and technology, repair culture, interface design and combinations of electronics with craftsmanship. She is currently investigating repair as a mechanism for care, aiming towards a more sustainable relationship with our electronic possessions. In this context she creates installations and instruments that re-purpose discarded furniture and technology, while organising workshops where participants explore personal connections with objects through the act of repair.

Van Son received a Master's degree from Visual Culture and Contemporary Art (Aalto University) in 2017, after completing her Bachelor's degree from the ArtScience Interfaculty (Royal Academy of Art, The Hague). Originally from the Netherlands, she currently lives and works in Helsinki. She has held solo exhibitions at Forum Box, Galleria Huuto and Galerie AMU (Prague) and a duo exhibition with Alex van Giersbergen at Myymälä2. She has participated in group exhibitions and performed throughout Europe.
