Christian Skjødt Hasselstrøm

Christian Skjødt Hasselstrøm (b. 1980, Denmark) operates at the convergence of sound, visual practice, and scientific inquiry. With a deep interest in the (limited) sensory and cognitive capacities of the human being, particularly in the imperceptible, which constitutes an essential part of our relation to the world, Skjødt Hasselstrøm utilizes technology as a tool for an extended perception or cognition, with the artworks as facilitating thresholds between our sensory apparatus and phenomena. Hence the works investigate alternative environments of sensing and relating to the surroundings, proposing situations and spaces for reflection and contemplation.

Skjødt Hasselstrøm’s work has been presented at art institutions, venues, and festivals worldwide, and he has been awarded by Japan Media Arts Festival, Prix Ars Electronica, Edigma Semibreve, and the Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen’s Foundation, among others. Skjødt Hasselstrøm holds a Master’s degree from the Royal Academy of Music in Denmark and is currently based in Copenhagen.
