Marina Vishmidt is a London based writer, researcher and editor. She is interested in materialist aesthetics and the political economics of cultural production, with particular emphasis on art as vanishing mediator of both social change and the reinforcement of the commodity form.

She is currently focusing on information based art, situated technologies, urbanism, feminist media arts, conceptual art, Marxian theory, temporality, artists' moving image, and errant modernisms.
She is the editor of the NODE.London Reader: surveying art, technologies and politics (NODE.London, 2006), and is a frequent contributor to Mute magazine and MetaMute website, Untitled magazine, and a few other publications, including the second Producta Reader (Barcelona, 2007) and Art and Social Change (Tate and After All Publishing, 2007).

Vishmidt also publishes short fiction in small journals such as Guestroom and Ontophonie. She recently gave a workshop on domestic labour, free software and value production at Digitales, the bi-annual event for women and digital technologies organised in Brussels by Interface 3 and Constant. Other current projects include volunteering for Cinenova (Europe's only women's film and video distributor) and working in the local 'arthouse' video rental shop. She is hoping to get back into film/video production next year.
