1. Through three decades marked by major technological breakthroughs such as the iPhone and AI, artist Ann Lislegaard has used technology to create illusions and immersive sensory spaces in her art. Born and raised in Norway (b. 1962), Lislegaard received her artistic education in Copenhagen at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts between 1988 and 1993. She also lived in New York for several decades, but is now based in Copenhagen.

2. As an artist, Ann Lislegaard does not work with brushes, oil paint or canvas. Instead, she uses projectors, speakers, computers and 3D animation in her artistic practice — and she was among the first artists to do so. Technology becomes both a tool and a kind of key to entering other sensory spaces and worlds.

3. The title of the exhibition, ANIMOID, is borrowed from Philip K. Dick’s 1968 science fiction novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The novel describes a world in which animals have become extinct and been replaced by synthetic “animoids” — lifelike robotic creatures designed to fill an emotional void.
