I’m excited to invite you to the opening of Reimagining Franciska Clausen: From Post Cubism to Digital Transformation, today from 4-6 PM!
This exhibition and XR installation of AI film, 3 AR sculptures and 3D-printed works. A site specific blacklight installation were each of the 3 sculptures symbolizing a pivotal stage in Clausen’s life—her early figurative work, her transformative period in Paris with cubism, and her later optical experiments with technology. Through these pieces, I explore how her legacy can be revitalized using today’s digital tools.

AUGMENTED REALITY-PERFORMANCE
THIS SMK FRIDAY at The NATIONAL GALLREY of Denmark.
Inspired by the museum’s 3D archive, I have created digital sculptures that challenge the boundaries between the past and the future. The sculptures explore the depths of the subconscious, quantum mechanics and AI.
Augmented Reality and Film (co-created with AI).
Premiere of 2 new AR sculptures a homange to Anne Marie Carl Nielsen (Mermaid & Horse).
Welcome back to Future Fossils
– from Centre Pompidou Málaga @centrepompidoumalaga to SMK- National Gallery of Denmark @smkmuseum
After 8 months at Centre Pompidou Málaga, my SMK Open AR sculptures are back in Copenhagen at The National Gallery of Denmark for this upcoming SMK Fridays!
These 17 digital sculptures, including Apollon, Venus, Pharaoh Hybrids, and two new pieces inspired by Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen Mermaid and Horse XR, explore the intersection of classical art, new technologies, AI, and quantum mechanics. Through augmented reality, these sculptures “co-exists” in the water, symbolizing the fluid nature of quantum possibilities, where multiple realities co-exist simultaneously, just as water reflects both the visible and the hidden.
Water acts as a metaphor for quantum uncertainty and fluid transitions between the physical and digital realms. Additionally, just as water cools powerful AI systems during intense data processing, it cools the boundary between art and technology, allowing the sculptures to emerge from these depths. By merging AI and art, the installation offers a new way to experience time, identity, and consciousness.
Join me this Friday at SMK to witness how AR, AI, and quantum concepts bring these sculptures to life, transforming art through the lens of modern technology.

I am about to create three digital sculptures in augmented reality (AR) to honor women from Randers. Do you know a woman who deserves a bigger place in history?
Share her story with me! Send your tale to Julie Margrethe Nyrup at Randers Art Museum: jmn@randerskunstmuseum.dk – it can be in text, images, or video format. By sharing your story, you give me permission to use it in my art project. Although not all stories will be turned into sculptures, we will share as many of the women’s stories as possible throughout the fall. I look forward to hearing your stories…

I had the most amazing summer in Paris with the Space Program 2024 !
#spaceprogramme2024 – an artist residency led by @perfcorp – four of us delved into the intersection of motion capture, AI, augmented reality, cyberfeminism, AI-generated music and classical dance. Using a motion capture suit, we captured natural human movements and integrated them with AI-driven interactions and AR visuals. This created an immersive and responsive experience that visually reflected and enhanced the user’s actions in real-time.
Drawing inspiration from the intersection of religion, technology, poetry, cyberfeminism, and the significance of the location, we explored the influence of the 𝓶𝓐𝓡𝓻𝔂. The blend of themes added an underlying layer to our project, examining how these elements interact and shape our understanding of art and technology.
Presented at @centreculturelirlandais

Thanks for a fantastic symposium on AI and photography at Aalto University. we were honoured to showcase some of our AI work and discuss pros and cons with new tech. Thanks for organising such an inspiring event and group of people and organizations from all Northern countries. Thanks for the invitation @fotografiskcenter
FOTOGRAFISK CENTER IN HELSINKI
The rise of digitalisation keeps pushing us further from the roots of photography, the analogue and our direct connection to the material. What should we think about the AI in connection to photography? How are photographic processes and agencies changing?
The AI Conundrum in Photographic Art seminar explores the reasons and ways that artificial intelligence is being used by artists today. The seminar invites an array of curators and artists to discuss the present and future of artificial intelligence in connection to photographic practices and the broader cultural field.
The seminar is organised by the Association of Photographic Artists (FI) in collaboration with three Nordic photography institutions, Centrum för Fotografi (SE), Fotografisk Center (DK), Preus Museum (NO), and Aalto University.
The event is generously supported by @nordiskkulturkontakt.

So proud to be nominated with the fab team of Arkitema ! It’s been an amazing journey to the museum of the future with Egtved AR avatar 0.1 Looking forward to future projects integrating art and architecture!
What can we learn from a young Bronze Age woman – The Egtved Girl? Yesterday, our team received 2nd place in the open architecture competition to design The World of the Egtved Girl, organized by #vejlemuseerne and @vejlekommune. 42 teams participated.
The future museum located near the Danish city of Vejle aims to enrich the cultural experience of one of the most well-preserved finds from the Bronze Age in Denmark, called the Egtved Girl.
Primarily, the dissemination of ‘The World of the Egtved Girl’ is conceived outdoors, however, supported by smaller buildings, visitors can as well move inside to experience up close how life unfolded 3,500 years ago.
Together with the talented and interdisciplinary artist, @idakvetny
, our colleagues have developed a landscape and architectural concept that through play, movement, interactive experiences, and the use of all senses, creates a transmission of natural and cultural history.
“We are very proud to have received 2nd place in this ambitious architecture competition. In a fruitful cross-disciplinary collaboration with Ida Kvetny, we have developed a strong concept that blends a strong landscaping, architectural, artistic and digital approach – including a virtual Egtved Girl avatar.
Our team has designed a holistic concept that through play, movement, interactive experiences, and the use of all senses, creates a transmission of the natural and cultural history of the Bronze Age,” elaborates Anna Kathrine Bisgaard Sørensen, Associate, and Creative Leader at Arkitema.
Thanks to the Vejle Museums and the Municipality of Vejle for creating a visionary and ambitious competition programme.

I forbindelse med CryptoPong udstillingen i Nikolaj Kunsthal, som belyser NFT fænomenet, har vi inviteret fem toneangivne personer fra kunstverdenen til en samtale om deres erfaringer med NFT-kunst og hvilke fremtidige muligheder de ser foran sig?
October
Our CryptoPong Exhibition on the cover of Berlinske 7 October :
CryptoPong – Radar Contemporary
Nikolaj Kunsthal viser som én af de første kunsthaller i Skandinavien en udstilling, der belyser fænomenet NFT-kunst.
CryptoPong er en gruppeudstilling med et stærkt hold af danske og internationale
kunstnere, der har det tilfælles, at de på forskellig vis pionerer inden for feltet XR kunst (VR, AR, 3D, NFT).
Ud fra deres praksis udforsker kunstnerne NFT-fænomenet ‘non-fungible token’ (NFT). NFT har det seneste år være hypet og diskuteret i kunstverdenen. NFT’er giver uomtvisteligt digitale kunstnere en mulighed for at verificere digitale værker på en ny og banebrydende måde via den omdiskuterede blockchain-teknologi. I kølvandet på hypen er en ny æstetik forbundet med NFT’er skyllet ind over de internationale kunstscener og er svær at ignorere.
Det er denne nye retning i kunsthistorien og denne brydningstid, Radar Contemporary ønsker at belyse og undersøge ud fra et kunstnerisk perspektiv.
Udstillingen har fokus på den diversitet, der er i spil på crypto-kunstscenen. Ambitionen er at vise NFT-kunstnere, som i længere tid har arbejdet seriøst med nye teknologier i deres praksis og som i en naturlig forlængelse heraf har ønsket at eksperimentere og afprøve de nye muligheder indenfor NFT-universet.
Installatorisk vises kunstneres værker på digitale skærme, og i sammenhæng med dette vises en større stedsspecifik, interaktiv installation, som fusionerer den fysiske og digitale verden og inviterer publikum til fælles interaktion og spil. Værket er blevet til på baggrund af, at det i 2022 er 50-året for et af de første computerspil, Pong, som på flere måder symboliserer starten på den digitale tidsalder.
De tidlige spils højpixelerede æstetik minder om de nutidige, populære NFT’er og de nu kultiske CryptoPunks, som er i særlig høj kurs netop nu – heraf udstillingsnavnet CryptoPong.
Udstillingens formål er at belyse en ny retning i samtidskunsten og vise de nye NFT værkers mangfoldighed og æstetik, som har skabt en ny bevægelse i kunstverdenen.
CryptoPong præsenterer værker af Lawrence Lek (UK), Claudia Hart (US), Carla Gannis (US), Jonas Kasper Jensen (DK), White Male Artist aka Cassils (CA/US) og Eve Sussman | Snark.art (US), Ida Kvetny (DK) og Diana Velasco (ES/DK).

This June I took part of a great project at The National Museum of Denmark (SMK). With new4 AR sculptures, a XR film I the auditorium and 3D printed sculpture in the sculpture hall.
Welcome to the final SMK Fridays event of the season! Together, we will focus on what art can mean to you and me and the society in which we live. Learn more about how art can be used to reflect on the big questions in life, how art can be used politically, and why we need art at all.
Conversation: The value of art – for the individual and the community
Artist Ida Kvetny, who works with NFTs, AR and VR, meets author Elizabeth Holstein and art historian Merete Sanderhoff for a conversation on what it means to express yourself creatively andinnovatively – and what value this generates for the individual and the community.19.15-19.45 / 20.30-21.00
AR Art: Futuristic, dancing figures
Inspired by plaster casts in the SMK collection and 3D archive, artist Ida Kvetny has created an array of futuristic, multicoloured figures. Watch them emerge on your smartphone.
16.00-22.00
XR film: Hermés
Ida Kvetny’s dancing, multi-coloured figures come to life in their own futuristic world as we screen the XR film Hermés.

Leaders de l’industrie XR, nos Decision Makers 2022 seront à l’écoute des projets présentés lors de #NewImages2022.
In March I will be talking about art and algorithms at Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
Kom og diskutér hvordan teknologi og algoritmer påvirker kultur og samfund
Algoritmerne myldrer ind i vores hverdag, vores arbejdsliv og privatliv. Teknologierne har kæmpe potentialer til, at vi kan udrette spændende og kreative ting med dem og udvikle vores samfund og samhørighed. Men de har også en bagside, som fortjener opmærksomhed. Statistisk set halter kvinderne bagefter på digitale kompetencer. Det vil vi gerne gøre noget ved.
Som et af verdens mest digitaliserede lande er vi i stigende grad afhængige af teknologi. Men hvordan sikrer vi en digital udvikling som er både demokratisk og humanistisk? Hvordan retter vi op på den kønsmæssige skævvridning, som er et faktum, når det kommer til både udvikling og brug af teknologi i dag?
I forbindelse med Kvindernes Internationale Kampdag inviterer vi til arrangementet Kvinder, Kunst og Algoritmer, hvor vi ser nærmere på teknologiens og algoritmernes anvendelsesmuligheder som kreative redskaber og nye veje til kulturelle oplevelser. Vi piller mystikken, bekymringen og afmagten ud af teknologidebatten og giver den et kvindeligt og kunstnerisk perspektiv.
Vi undersøger, hvordan kunst kan udfordre vores forståelse af teknologi, og spørger hvordan vi fremmer en mangfoldig teknologiudvikling, som rummer forskellige køn, erfaringer, perspektiver og tilgange.
Vi præsenterer et line-up af kunstnere, som gennem en æstetisk praksis udforsker teknologiens potentialer, og gennem brug af it og algoritmer skaber nye typer af værker.
Vi inviterer til debat med kvindelige kunstnere, forskere og teknologer om visioner for at bruge digitalisering og teknologi kreativt, kritisk og opbyggeligt.
Statens Museum for Kunst, Algoritmer, Data & Demokrati-projektet og Ingeniørforeningen IDA er gået sammen om en eftermiddag, hvor vi sætter en anderledes dagsorden, der inkluderer kvinder og kunst i fortællingen om vores teknologiske fremtid.
Mød Pernille Bjørn, Louise Alenius, Ida Kvetny, Nanna Debois Buhl (via video), Ditte Ejlerskov, Nanna Bonde Thylstrup og Gry Hasselbach. Eftermiddagen modereres af Lisbeth Knudsen.

Crypto-art, NFTs and digital blockchain technology – what is the fuss really about? Spring has shown that both digital artwork and simple files can be sold for staggering amounts. Via advanced technology, the purchase and sale of otherwise copyable digital files is opened up. Combined with the Internet’s jungle of creative forms of expression and online cultural phenomena, it heralds new times.

COOL CLAY – Ceramic Containers in Art Today
Right now at Gl.Holtegaard!
28 AUG 2020 – 10 JAN 2021
Ceramic: Clay in art is more popular than ever both in Denmark and internationally. COOL CLAY – Ceramic Containers in Art Today presents 20 Danish artists’ reinterpretation of clay pots as works of art. Here the clay container exists as applied art, myth, body, sound instrument, canvas, and sculpture.
The staging of the exhibition – with tons of earth on the gallery floors and heavy textiles on the walls – arouses the senses – touch, sight, smell and hearing intensify the experience of the many works filling the galleries.

On this upcoming Friday, Art Hub Copenhagen would like to invite you to join us for a workshop-day of knowledge sharing about your respective interests in the VR-medium and its place in contemporary culture and the arts.
The aim of this event is to concretize the needs and interest areas of a “VR-Network Group”. We will together formulate a statement of the participants and explore the potentials of forming future interdisciplinary work and collaborations in the VR-scene.
The day will entail a showing of new VR-works at Khora Contemporary, and Art Hub Copenhagen will facilitate the event, including a lunch and coffee break, where you will have time to network with fellow interested parties and possibly create new partnerships and collaborations.
