Biography

Born as Judith Ann Powers in Boston a month after Pearl Harbor, Malloy was raised in Massachusetts. Her mother was a writer and editor and her father, a Normandy veteran, worked as Assistant District Attorney in two Massachusetts counties and then as Chief Assistant US Attorney for Massachusetts. Malloy skied and played tennis, summering in New Hampshire, Cape Cod and the Berkshires. Malloy felt an early calling to the visual arts and began painting and sketching as a child.

After college, unable to make a living as an artist, Malloy took a job at the Library of Congress. In 1965 she met electronics engineer Jim Malloy. They traveled to Europe and married in Nürnberg in 1968.

In the next few years, Judy Malloy worked as a technical information specialist at the NASA contractor Ball Brothers Research Corporation, running their technical library and learning FORTRAN programming in order to identify relevant content for research.

Moving to the East Bay in the early 1970s, Malloy was divorced in 1977. She lived in Berkeley where, in addition to installations and performances, she developed a series of books that incorporated non-sequential narratives driven by words and images.

Online

In 1986, Malloy wrote "Uncle Roger", the first online hyperfiction project with links that took the narrative different directions depending on the reader's choice. "Uncle Roger" was mentioned as the start of a future art form by the Wall Street Journal in their 1989 centennial publication.

In 1989, Malloy's hyperfiction work "its name was Penelope" was exhibited, gaining publication in 1993 by Eastgate Systems. Also in 1993, Malloy was invited to XEROX PARC as artist-in-residence, where she wrote a collaborative hypernarrative with Cathy Marshall and developed "Brown House Kitchen", an online narrative written in LambdaMOO.

She began serving as editor of the online periodical "Arts Wire Current" in March 1996. [ [http://web.archive.org/web/20011201012815/www.artswire.org/current/1996/cur030596.html Wayback Machine.
