Sean Moss-Pultz is a technologist building tools to increase human autonomy in the digital age.
He co-founded Feral File with Casey Reas to explore how digital art is curated, collected, and lived with. Feral File collaborates with institutions like MoMA, the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, and the Centre Pompidou to help make digital art as natural to daily life as books or music.
Sean also co-founded and leads Bitmark, a company developing open infrastructure for digital property rights. Before that, he founded and led Openmoko, the first open-source mobile phone—an early challenge to the closed systems of big tech.
His work moves across hardware, software, design, and rights—guided by a simple idea: that people should have more freedom to explore, create, and understand the systems they live inside.
He often speaks on topics like art and technology, privacy, and digital ownership. He lives in San Diego with his family, and spends as much time as possible in the water or in the air.
