Marzec's work explores the effects that various technologies (particularly telecommunications) and the social conditions that surround them have on aspects of our interpersonal relationships such as privacy, intimacy, and publicity. She has frequently cited her experience of losing hearing in one ear, as well as her experience working inside a media giant compromised by the PRISM program (America Online) as formative.
