Welcome 2026
Installation of my site-specific artwork is now well underway in Vrå in the new Swimming Centre (Idræt Centre Vendsyssel).
The work is being integrated not only into the swimming hall, but also into the changing and shower areas, becoming part of the entire architectural experience. The collaboration has been fantastic and inspiring, and it’s incredible to see the vision come to life tile by tile.
Can’t wait to share more soon!
Winner of the Vrå Swimming Centre Art Commission
I am thrilled to share that I have been selected as the artist behind the new public artwork for Vrå Swimming Centre.
Out of three strong and very different proposals, the art committee chose my project for its unique combination of technology, sensuousness, and local grounding. The work unfolds a narrative that connects both the history and the future of Vrå, transforming the swimming hall in a way not seen before.
I am deeply grateful to the committee for their trust, and I look forward to bringing this work to life together with all the dedicated partners involved in the project.

The Wandering Heart – Opening
SUPER POSITION
Sound installation af Kirsten Kjær Museum
Group exhibition with Stine Deja, Nour Fog, Nicolai Risbjerg, and Hannah Toticki.
The exhibition takes its starting point in the relationship between artist Kirsten Kjær and writer Karin Michaëlis, a friendship and artistic alliance that encompassed both intimacy and rupture. Through different artistic approaches, we explore how relations, memory, and reconciliation can be reimagined in contemporary art.
My contribution, Super Position, is a sensorial and digital total installation, where four transparent textiles, a neon sign, two chairs, an AI-generated sound piece, and AR elements create a space of reconciliation across time and media.
The exhibition is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, Ny Carlsberg Foundation, Augustinus Foundation, and 15. Juni Foundation.
Super Position
– Ida Kvetny
Super Position is a sensorial and digital installation created for the exhibition The Wandering Heart at Kirsten Kjærs Museum. The work takes its point of departure in the complex relationship between painter Kirsten Kjær and writer Karin Michaëlis…a friendship marked by intimacy, rupture, and shifting forms of engagement.
The installation consists of four semi-transparent textiles, a neon sign, two hand-painted chairs, an AI-generated sound piece, and AR elements. These layers create a space of resonance and reconciliation, not as historical reconstruction but as an open, circular narrative where multiple states coexist.
Through algorithmically processed textile motifs, AI voices in a quantum duet, and augmented reality that breaks the architectural frame, the work engages cyberfeminist strategies of re-writing archives and negotiating inner and outer spaces.
Super Position exists fully only with the presence of the audience, who become part of its superposition – simultaneously witness and participant, memory and future.

RECAST Artist Talk #1: Ida Kvetny & Elisabeth Toubro
📅 September 2, 2025
🕔 17:00 – 18:00
📍 Fiolstræde 1, 1171 Copenhagen
🎟 Remember to book your ticket!
Can art “recast” power, history, or identities? Join an artist talk with Elisabeth Toubro and Ida Kvetny, who both present new works in the exhibition RECAST.
The contemporary art exhibition RECAST is held on the occasion of the University of Copenhagen’s 150th anniversary of women’s admission to higher education. The show challenges the university’s tradition of using art – and in particular busts of white men – to commemorate and construct its history.
In this talk, artists Elisabeth Toubro and Ida Kvetny discuss how their works may contribute to reshaping the university’s monumental history and culture, to better reflect the people shaping the knowledge society of the future.
The talk is moderated by Amalie Skovmøller, co-curator of the exhibition and Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in sculpture tradition and history.
After the talk, there will be an opportunity to view the exhibition.
New work for RECAST at Fiolstræde !
Holbot 0.1 Performance – RECAST
A living glitch in the archive emerges.
Holbot 0.1 moves in and out of the bunks, rewriting space and time.
In collaboration with @ingigram, the bust is given a body and a sensing patch – at the heart of RECAST.
📅 Thursday at 18:15📍 University Library, Fiolstræde
RECAST at Fiolstræde
I am delighted to be exhibiting and recasting together with wonderful colleagues at Fiolstraede. I look forward to presenting new works, including 3D print, textile, AR – and, for the opening, a special Holbot 0.1 performance🔌
The exhibition RECAST opens on August 28 at Fiolstræde.
13 contemporary artists have been invited to rethink and challenge the university’s classical monument tradition – a tradition that for centuries has shaped who and what we, as a society, have chosen to commemorate.
Participating artists: Jeannette Ehlers, Lea Guldditte Hestelund, Ben and Sebastian, Jóhan Martin Christiansen, Noah Umur Kanber, Ida Kvetny, Henriette Heise, Anne-Mette Schultz, Maria Nørholm Ramouk, Nanna Debois Buhl, Elisabeth Toubro, Lea Porsager, and Julie Edel Hardenberg.
Curated by Ida Højgaard Thjømøe, Amalie Skovmøller, and Mathias Danbolt, the exhibition is part of the research project Moving Monuments and included in the University of Copenhagen’s 150th anniversary program marking women’s admission to the university.
Opening: August 28 at 17:00
Exhibition period: August 28 – November 29, 2025
Supported by: Ny Carlsberg Foundation, 15. Juni Foundation, Augustinus Foundation, Danish Arts Foundation, and Knud Højgaard Foundation.
PATCH
(2025)
3D print, mixed media, digital print on transparent textiles, AR
The classical bust celebrates the head alone – a physical homage to intellect and the idea of the elevated individual. But knowledge is inseparable from bodies that feel, sense, and interact. It is this collective, sensing body that comes into play in Ida Kvetny’s PATCH.
Taking as her point of departure a bust of Ludvig Holberg (1684–1754), Kvetny has modelled a double-sided figure in VR and given it physical form as a free-floating 3D-printed sculpture. Holbot 0.1 is not a traditional portrait but an ornamented, abstract being. It has digital sisters – the Holbots – which can be experienced in AR and as fragments printed on transparent textiles that the viewer must pass through to enter the work.
The physical and digital sculptures connect to Holberg’s Niels Klim’s Underground Journey (1741). In this satirical tale, Niels Klim falls through the layers of the earth and discovers a world turned upside down: women rule, trees speak, and the familiar becomes strange and incomprehensible. In the same way, Holberg’s bust in Kvetny’s work becomes a portal to an alternative universe.
The title PATCH refers both to software and to textile patches added to repair or mark where something has broken. Here, the patch becomes an entry point into new ways of thinking: Is knowledge only that which provides order to the system – or can it sprout from the skewed, the glitching, and the unexpected?

The Lost Runestones – Rundetaarn
This Friday opens The Lost Runestones in the Round Tower, a group exhibition curated by @kaellingstenen.
I am presenting my new installation Venteværelset (The Waiting Room).
The work takes its starting point in the runestone Landerupense II – a mysterious stone marked with “chemical signs,” which as early as the 17th century was regarded as something other than a classical runestone. A glitch in history.
In the installation, the stone reappears as a hybrid entity, created in collaboration with AI. It forms part of a fictional network with its “sister stones” in Jelling and Horne, communicating in real time through encrypted symbolic languages, sound, and data. The work plays with themes of fake news, archaeology and algorithms, faith and technology – with a small greeting to Einstein 👅 – and questions of authority and historiography.
Exhibition details
Round Tower, Library Hall
Opening: Friday, June 21, 17:00–19:00
Exhibition period: June 21 – August 24, 2025

Parnasset #2
Parnasset – DR Radio
I was recently in the DR studio to record another episode of Parnasset, together with Søren Schauser and Peter Aalbæk.
The conversation was both thought-provoking and humorous, circling around the theme of how we can slow down the pace in art, culture, and life.
I shared reflections on Holberg’s Niels Klim and its critique of our quick judgment, on Marina Abramović’s slow presence in The Artist is Present, and on the experience of sitting on a red mountain in Scotland, letting thoughts wander freely.

ARanders & AIRanders Entanglement at RANDERS MUSEUM 2024
Happy to invite you to the opening of my ARanders & AIRanders Entanglement, an experimental XR art project by Danish artist Ida Kvetny, co-created with AI.
Opening Date:
28th November 2024, at 5:00 PM
Lage film projection of AIRanders on the facade of the museum.
Venue:
Randers Art Museum and Kulturhuset, Randers, Denmark
Ida Kvetny is celebrated as a pioneer in blending traditional artistic practices with cutting-edge technology. ARanders & AIRanders marks one of the first major AI-co-created projects by a Danish female artist exhibited at a Danish museum. Through the experimental use of augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), and her own artistic vision, Kvetny brings history into conversation with technology, reimagining the narratives of women from Randers across time.
About the Project:
Inspired by the quantum concept of entanglement, where particles influence one another across time and space, ARanders & AIRanderscreates a circular dialogue between the past, present, and future. The project explores how historical and overlooked figures, both extraordinary and everyday, can reconnect and resonate in a modern context.
ARanders features five AR sculptures that highlight women’s diverse contributions to Randers’ history. These sculptures, activated via QR codes, are situated at significant locations across the city and museum. AIRanders, an AI-generated film, deepens the project’s scope, weaving together themes of memory, entanglement, and interconnected stories.
By integrating AR and AI, the project transforms storytelling into an interactive and participatory experience. Visitors are invited to engage directly with the works and share their encounters via a dedicated Instagram feed, turning their personal interactions into part of the exhibition itself.
Program:
•5:00 PM: Welcome and short presentations by Ida Kvetny and historians
•5:30 PM: Explore the AR sculptures and interact with the digital installations. Lage film projection of AIRanders on the facade of the museum.
•6:00 PM: Communal dinner in Kulturhuset (registration required)
The exhibition runs until March 2025, showcasing how technology can reframe history and create new ways of engaging with art. We hope to see you there!

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 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.

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).

JUNE
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

In June I will be off to Paris to represent Radar Contemporary at The New Image Festival :
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.

CRYPTOPONG We at Radar contemporary can’t wait for this next year! CRYPTOPONG at Nikolaj Kunsthal
CryptoPong – Radar Contemporary
Nikolaj Kunsthal viser som én af de første kunsthaller i Europa 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.

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!

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.
