- Jakob Kudsk Steensen (Denmark, 1987) stole the limelight at the first event of SciArt Switzerland, staged in partnership with MASI Lugano, which looked at the relationship between art and technology in its 2024 edition.
The talk was moderated by Maike Thies, researcher in Game Design and lecturer at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK).
Steensen uses 3D animations, sound and immersive installations in his ‘environmental stories’ to deliver poetic interpretations about overlooked natural phenomena, and remote or liminal spaces. A keen observer of climate change and its consequences, the artist drew our attention to the things that remain on the fringes and are often unseen. Steensen’s starting point is always a long period of fieldwork, whether his focus is on Berlin's surroundings, the island of Kaua’i or the spectacular reconstruction of the Arolla Glacier in the Valais Alps, documented shortly before its melting.
Using techniques borrowed from the world of gaming and virtual reality, the artist successfully fosters a new awareness and perception of our relationship with the environment around us.
