TRANSFORMING STRUCTURES IN GLOBAL LANDSCAPES

Audiovisual research essay

Jasper Zehetgruber (*1996 Graz, Austria) is a media artist, researcher and exhibition designer.

His work is dedicated to the human need for security, definition and control, standing in opposition to the ideal of individual freedom and the resulting conflicts in environment and society. He holds a BA in Public Private from Design Academy Eindhoven with a semester abroad at PolyU Hong Kong and an MA in Biodesign from Central Saint Martins. He was a guest in the Emergent Digital Media class of Hito Steyerl at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and was part of the AMO think tank under the direction of Rem Koolhaas at the architecture firm OMA in Rotterdam, developing the exhibition 'Countryside, The Future' (2020) at the S.R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The 7-year research project explored radical changes in the rural, remote, and wild territories collectively identified as "countryside," or the 98% of the Earth’s surface not occupied by cities. The exhibition proved to be a significant influence on Zehetgruber's subsequent work, which largely focussed on the comparison of civilisational and natural systems across scales.

His works have been shown at the Dutch Design Week (2019) and the Paris Design Week (2020) as well as exhibitions such as 'Living Apart Together' (RAUM, Utrecht, 2020-21), 'GEO-DESIGN COVID-19: Travelling without moving' (Design Academy Eindhoven, online, 2020), 'Fitting In' (z33, Hasselt, 2022) and 'Between Normals' (Slash Gallery @ WORM, Rotterdam, 2023). He has designed exhibitions and installations for the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark (2024), l'Oreal Paris (2024), the Triennale di Milano (2025), and the Venice Architecture Biennale (2023 + 2025). He was as among the finalists for the Bio Art and Design (BAD) Award at MU Hybrid Art House (Eindhoven, 2022) and the European Digital Deal residency at Ars Electronica (2024).

In 2023, Zehetgruber was appointed Creative Director of the first national pavilion of Panama at the Biennale Architettura di Venezia.
