Computer scientist& artist.

Hi, I'm Pallas-Athena Cain - a creative technologist combining computer science and artistic practice to make work that considers human-machine relationships and posthuman feminisms. By day I'm a software developer at Bull Moose Marketing, building client websites and software; the rest of the time I build robots, art, and odd little tools.
