How can technology serve as a tool for healing? How can we use code not just as a technical language, but a poetic one? My work explores these questions.

Kirsten Swensen is an Amsterdam based digital media artist whose process often begins with a question or feeling, transformed into dynamic video art, immersive installations, and detailed generative compositions leveraging data and code.

Shaped by a childhood immersed in games and computers, she works with code, data, game mechanics, and field recordings—using them both as input and inspiration for her generative and mixed reality installations.Her approach is shaped by the continuous flow of motion, reimagined through digital processes that create a connection between the figurative and the abstract often resulting in dreamlike ethereal realms. Using generative algorithms she creates shifting digital systems that mirror the complexities of the natural world. Drawing inspiration from her experiences with Vipassana meditation, she seeks to translate those contemplative qualities into her digital work—spaces that invite pause, reflection, and reconnection with self.

Rather than seeing technology as something that pulls us away from ourselves, Kirsten treats it as a tool for spiritual reconnection—building bridges between inner and outer worlds.

Her work has been performed and exhibited in institutions worldwide including Nxt Museum, Rosewood Amsterdam, Van Abbemuseum, MMMAD Festival, Sedition Art, Blinc Festival, Adelaide Festival, Glow, Dutch Design Week, STRP Festival, DEMO Festival and more.
