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).

The six artists this season are Lillibeth Cuenca Rasmussen, Eske Kath, Ida Kvetny, Bjørn Magnussen, Gun Gordillo and Adam Christensen. Watch here!
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

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.

Tech Art Tuesday Artist talk and Panel, Vejle: DK
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.

Ceramic: Clay in art is more popular than ever both in Denmark and internationally.

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.
