Jakob Kudsk Steensen (b. 1987, Denmark) is an artist working with virtual world-building, video game technologies, and spatial sound to produce large-scale installations. His practice draws on fieldwork that uses photogrammetry and other forms of recording to digitally archive vanishing and emerging ecologies. Developed in close collaboration with environmental scientists, composers, and philosophers, this process gives rise to speculative worlds in which technology, psyche, and body converge as new forms of environmental storytelling. Notable collaborators include environmental philosopher Melanie Challenger; musician Arca; performer and vocalist Lyra Pramuk; experimental cellist Okkyung Lee; composer and Musical Director of the Philip Glass Ensemble Michael Riesman; ornithologist and author Dr. Douglas H. Pratt; the South Korean pop band BTS; the Cornell Lab of Ornithology; TBA21 Academy; Google Arts & Culture; the Teyelers Museum and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, among others.
