Unabomber for President [ edit ]

In 1995, Korda, together with Lydia Eccles, launched the campaign Unabomber for President.[6] It took the overt form of a political action committee, Unabomber Political Action Committee (UNAPACK).[6] "Unapack (...) completely endorses the ideas in the 35,000-word screed against society the government may try to prove Kaczynski wrote."[7]

Developer of software [ edit ]

Korda developed software for the world's first color 3D printer in 2004.[8]

Korda created in 2005 the VJ software Whorld, an open-source visualizer that utilizes math in order to create psychedelic animation and artwork.[9]

In 2006, Korda released FFRend, a "Parallel-processing renderer for Freeframe V1 video effect plugins".[10][11]

In 2008, Korda designed Fractice, a fractal renderer.[12]

Korda is also an inventor of music software, such as Waveshop (2013), a bit-perfect lossless free audio editor, reviewed in several websites.[13]

She is also the creator of ChordEase (2014). This is a free software that is compatible with any MIDI instrument and essentially it makes notes easier to play. ChordEase was presented at the 2015 International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression.[14]

Music career [ edit ]

As an electronic/techno musician, Korda released two LPs and six singles and EPs.[15] Korda toured Europe with her album "Man of the Future",[16] released in 2003 by the German electronic music record label International Deejay Gigolo Records.
