Femke Herregraven (1982) is an artist and researcher. She is interested in the power structures and relationships between financial markets, international law, geopolitical relations, ethics and global climate change. She provides insight into these complex matters in surprising ways and in a playful way opens up viewers to our economically driven and ruthless world. Herregraven is part of TRADE-OFF, an experimental research project on lithium.
Algorithmic Cultures – The “Algorithmic Cultures” research group presents: Speculative Gaze: Reading the Algorithmic Image. In this seminar we will engage with the AI-generated image as a site for layered interpretation, inquiry, and cross-referential research. How do we see an image that isn’t solely of human origin? Each month, we will “read” three AI-generated images, analyzing their ambiguity and generative potential by linking them with theories, artworks, literature, film, sound, and more. Through this process, we ask: What networks of meaning arise from images crafted by algorithms? Session Dates are 16 January, 13 February, 13 March and 10 April. All sessions will take place from 5 pm to 7 pm in the Sandberg Auditorium on the 3rd floor of the BC building at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. The seminar is open to everyone; students/alumni of Rietveld/Sandberg and people with an interest in research. Registration for the whole seminar or for individual sessions: eventix.shop/euxdgq4j

The Gerrit Rietveld Academie congratulates Femke Herregraven on obtaining the title of Creator Doctus (CrD) on 14 November 2024. CrD is a project developed at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie that seeks to realise a new European third cycle award for higher arts education.
Creator Doctus (CrD) – In 2024, RADIUS Center for Contemporary Art and Ecology in Delft, presents the year program THE LIMITS TO GROWTH, exploring the relationship between economy and ecology. On November 2nd, they organise an artist talk with Femke Herregraven and Rachel Rakes, framed within the context of the large-scale solo exhibition FEMKE HERREGRAVEN: DIALECT, which is currently presented onsite at RADIUS and has been extended until 23 February 2025.
Creator Doctus (CrD) – For more than a decade, Femke Herregraven has been investigating which material base, geographies, and value systems are carved out by financial technologies and infrastructures. The exhibition 'Dialect' marks the last chapter of Femke Herregraven's Creator Doctus trajectory at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie/Sandberg Instituut.
In this seminar we will discuss the question of how collective an artistic practice is, and how much of the artistic process is a shared conversation with other makers both human and beyond-human. We will discuss a number of collaborative artistic practices which challenge the notion of authorship while simultaneously producing distinct artistic voices. We will also engage in a collective experiment together.
Deterritorializing Intelligence is a public lecture in the frame of the ongoing Creator Doctus research of Femke Herregraven, which circumnavigates the historical, material and epistemological conditions of artificial intelligence.
Algorithmic Cultures – For this occasion, Femke Herregraven has invited prof. dr. Rodrigo Ochigame who examines unorthodox models of computational rationality, such as nonclassical logics from Brazil, nonbinary Turing machines from India, and frameworks of information science from Cuba. Their research includes digital anthropology, the anthropology of science and technology, and the social dimensions of robotics and artificial intelligence.
The second CrD trajectory started in January 2020 and involves a partnership between Sandberg Instituut and Waag in Amsterdam. Femke Herregraven has been selected for this pilot with her research project ‘The Evacuated’.
