Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarije Baalman is an interdisciplinary sound artist and developer with 18 years of experience designing interactive audio-visual systems, sensing hardware, and real-time software for performances and installations. Based in Amsterdam, she combines a PhD in Computational Acoustics with hands-on expertise in firmware and code (SuperCollider, C++, Python), contributing back-end fixes and MIDI/HID integrations to the flagship SuperCollider project. She splits her time between freelance creative-technology commissions and coordinating financial strategy for an art-science association, bringing both technical rigor and organizational savvy. Her work spans wireless sensing, spatialization, and interaction design, and she has a track record of turning experimental prototypes into reliable, performance-ready systems. Less obvious: she pairs deep acoustic research with practical hardware R&D, making complex signal-processing concepts tangible in live contexts.
