As a media and visual artist, Kathrin Hunze works in an artistic and research-based manner within an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field of tension between art, design, technology, social, and natural sciences. Her work investigates the mechanisms and impacts of new technologies on complex systems, with a focus on ethical implications and how technological developments shape societal perceptions, interactions, and narratives. The audiovisual image is central to her practice, acting as a bridge between mediated realities and the sociocultural evolution of humanity, nature, and machines. Through installations, performances, sound/video essays, objects, websites, apps, and prints, she creates immersive spaces that critically engage with utopian and dystopian themes.
