Curatorial Bridge-Builder Between Art, Technology, and Society

Majken Overgaard works as an independent curator and writer specializing in art and technology. She curates exhibitions, writes, and teaches with the aim of connecting interdisciplinary fields and communicating knowledge to broader audiences. Her practice operates at the intersection of art, science, and technology – rooted in a deeply engaged ambition to contribute to societal transformation.

Through her curatorial practice, Majken Overgaard creates frameworks where new imaginaries and modes of action can emerge. She works strategically to connect art with science and technology, making complex issues more tangible and emotionally resonant. Projects such as Snart – The Laboratory for Possible Futures (2025) and the exhibition Techno Mythologies, shown at Christiansborg Palace in 2024, exemplify how interdisciplinary collaborations and sensory installations can open up spaces for participation, dialogue, and new understandings of the future.

Art as a Framework for Change

Majken Overgaard develops formats in which art does not merely reflect the world – but actively shapes it. Her work explores how art can be used as a tool to address complex challenges like the climate crisis and technological shifts such as the rise of artificial intelligence. She has a strong affinity for interactive and sensuous formats that engage both body and mind, forging a direct link between imaginative futures and concrete actions.

According to her, transformation happens when ideas are translated into action – and that requires the courage to experiment and the capacity to collaborate across disciplines. She uses curation as a strategic method for bridging people, ideas, and systems that rarely meet. Through formats such as conversations with AI agents, speculative installations, and activist dialogue programs, she facilitates processes that invite both institutions and audiences to actively participate in rethinking our present and imagining shared futures.
