McKenzie Wark is een Australische schrijfster en theoretica, en is als hooglerares Media and Culture verbonden aan The New School in New York City. Ze publiceerde talrijke baanbrekende theoretische werken waaronder A Hacker Manifesto (Harvard), Gamer Theory (Harvard) en Capital is Dead (Verso). Daarnaast schrijft ze autofictie, met onder meer Reverse Cowgirl (Semiotexte), Raving (Duke) en Love and Money, Sex and Death (Verso). In deze teksten neemt ze seksuele esthetiek, dissociatie en haar eigen ervaringen als transvrouw als uitgangspunten voor het denken over nieuwe modellen van hedendaags leven. Intellectualisme is in haar schrijven geen abstracte bezigheid, maar een vorm van dagelijks leven.Op de openingsdag van de Free School geeft McKenzie Wark een presentatie op basis van haar tekst On Being Plastic (te lezen in onze festivalbrochure) en zal ze in gesprek gaan met Luce deLire.
