Artist Bio

Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm is an award-winning Danish artist who has been pioneering the use of artificial intelligence—including large language models (LLMs) and GPT—since 2016. Her work invites reflection on the evolving relationship between humanity and technology, raising profound questions about identity, existence, and our place in the cosmos. Through thought-provoking works and interactive installations, Cecilie explores how technological advancements such as AI and space exploration are reshaping what it means to be human. Her interdisciplinary practice combines discourse theory, existential philosophy, cognitive science, software engineering, and astrophysics to challenge assumptions and provoke deeper contemplation in the technological age. Cecilie’s art-tech studio, Artificial Mind, is based in Copenhagen.

Cecilie’s work has been exhibited at institutions including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Ars Electronica, The Kennedy Center, Wellcome Collection, and Copenhagen Contemporary. Notably, she created the first AI and blockchain artwork launched into space aboard NASA’s section of the International Space Station.
