Kristoffer Gansing

Kristoffer Gansing is professor of Artistic Research at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen where he since 2020 directs a transdisciplinary center for artistic research (The International Center for Knowledge in the Arts). Previously, Gansing was artistic director of the transmediale festival for art and digital culture in Berlin, directing nine editions from 2012 to 2020. Through his research, curatorial activity and writing, Gansing develops transversal and post-digital perspectives and methodologies that aim to both situate and transform cultural practices. He is particularly interested in moving beyond representational forms in favour of a humble epistemology of agency and socio-cultural change through artistic forms and practices as situated, enacted and performative knowledge.
