Marie Munk

Danish interdisciplinary artist Marie Munk, works with sculpture, installation, video and performance. Her work explores the impact of technological innovation on our environment, behavior, and bodies. She creates alternative realities that blend the playful with the eerie, using synthetic materials to comment on society’s relationship with the body.

There is an endless array of technologies out there, to help you sleep better, and eat better, be better. Through themes of data, spirituality, technology and the body, Munk explores what it mean for us the merge with technology in order to optimize ourselves.
