About the Author
Who is Martyra Peng?
Basically, Martyra Peng is not a name in a conventional sense but a mission.
I’m just writing about politics, technology, culture and society. Blogging has been my hobby since 2005; before that, I was a political economy PhD student at the University of Chicago, Duisburg, Magdeburg und Halle/Saale, then I become an activist and freelance writer, later I started in IT after setting up my websites with code and documentary of the sex workers rights movement. For 13 years I have worked through all stages of a start up to scale up in digital industry.
For 3 yrs I was given the honour to set up a new department of future affairs and I started a master degree in future studies. During lockdowns I wrote two books, since more than one year I m working in innovation, AI and consultancy. I left my company earlier this autumn and volunteering at one of the most progressive AI companies in the world.
I didn’t complete my PhD due to censorship, before I grew up in an industrial area, studied political sciences, economics and psychology and lived in London and Berlin.
I currently live with my partner and my cat, Heinz & Hortense.
My images are not illustrations in the conventional sense, because no real subjects are depicted. Artificial intelligence is at work here – technology used and demanded by humans.
