Pioneering designer, artist and researcher Femke Herregraven (1982, Nijmegen, Netherlands) has spoken at conferences around the world, including TedX. She is particularly interested in the power structures and relationships between financial markets, international law, geopolitics, ethics and global climate change. In surprising and playful ways she makes these complex issues comprehensible and opens the spectators eyes to our ruthless, economy driven world. Her work consists of games, videos, prints, drawings and installations, that are partially exhibited online. At this moment she investigates high-frequency trading, in addition she is working on ongoing projects as Geographies of Avoidance, about evading regulation by offshore structures and The All Infrared Line, which is about the physical infrastructure of the financial world.

Femke Herregraven recently exhibited at T293 (Rome); Bureau Europa (Maastricht); Serpentine Galleries (online); het V&A (London); Swiss Institute (Milan); Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art (Rotterdam); Centre Pompidou (Paris); SMBA (Amsterdam), and ZKM (Karlsruhe).
