Michael Mandiberg is an artist, computer programmer and rogue economist who uses the Internet, Video and performance to explore subjectivity, labor, and commerce.   His current research delves into creative appropriations of outsourcing, artistic uses of open API web platforms, barter economies, and the global dependence on oil.

Recent projects include Oil Standard, IN Network with Julia Steinmetz, and Bush Poll.   He curated the DVD exhibition First Person in collaboration with Carla Herrera-Prats and Anne-Julie Raccoursier, and created The Exchange Program , a collaborative performance where four sets of two people switched lives for 11 days.   In 2001 he distributed perfect copies of copies on AfterSherrieLevine.com, and put all of his possessions up for sale on Shop Mandiberg.

His work has been exhibited at such venues as the New Museum for Contemporary Art in New York City, Ars Electronica Center in Linz, ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany, Transmediale Festival, Berlin, and C-Level, Los Angeles.   He lives in, and rides his purple bicycle around Brooklyn.
