BIO
kacper krajewski (1999, PL) is a media artist based in Tromsø, Norway. His practice focuses on hybrid systems in which machines, organisms, and matter interact, influence one another, and continue beyond human presence.
Working with installation, sculpture, bio-based processes, most notably mycelium, alongside code, he develops works that unfold over time through growth, decay, and transformation. These works are experienced at close range, through sound, smell, tactility, and subtle environmental change. His practice often resists optimisation, allowing technological and biological systems to drift, adapt, or fail on their own terms.
Through these works, krajewski explores how bodies, memory, and forms of consciousness are shaped by material conditions, and how utility, agency, and meaning shift once human-centred use dissolves. Rather than presenting collapse, his work lingers with continuation: what remains, what adapts, and what reorganises itself after us.
