BIO

Nanna K. Hougaard (b. 1988) is a Danish artist currently based in Trondheim, Norway. Her interdisciplinary artistic research combines various materials, intuition, technology and scientific elements, often in dialogue with scientists. The works study Nature as a whole, across the organic and the cultural, while simultaneously drawing attention to the methods we create in order to understand it.  In her recent works, she uses algorithms, both as a material and a tool, to investigate how technology transforms the world, as well as our perception and access to knowledge. Hougaard holds an MFA from Trondheim Academy of Fine Arts (NTNU 2019) and a BA in Aesthetics & Culture and Art & Technology (AU/AAU 2015). She is the founder and curator of Underfladen, a platform for interdisciplinary events across art, music and science.
