Zuzanna Zgierska
Zuzanna Zgierska (she/her) is an artist researcher and filmmaker working at the intersection of ArtScience, Transmedia Storytelling, and Digital Culture. Her artistic practice is driven by the need for critical narratives in the age of “ex-” (extraction, exclusion, and extinction). She untangles the planetary tongues through fieldwork, geo-hacking, and cross-cultural exchanges. From Earth Simulation Lab to the North Pole, Zuzanna creates landscape imaginaries by
connecting scientific research with indigenous wisdom, challenging the existing knowledge paradigms. She teaches Theory in Practice at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (Preparatory Year), and Interscalar Research Methods at the Design Academy Eindhoven (MA Critical Inquiry Lab).
Zuzanna is currently a Digital Culture Fellow 2023–24 (Netherlands Film Festival, Utrecht)
and a member of “Politics of Knowledge” Research Group 2022–24 (Lectorate Art Theory
& Practice, Royal Academy of Art, The Hague). Besides her appointments at art academies,
Zuzanna gave presentations worldwide at community centres, galleries, artist initiatives, film festivals, research institutes, science seminars, and radio shows. Zuzanna received a Talent Award 2024 (Creative Industries Fund NL), a Golden Calf in DigitalCulture 2022 (Netherlands Film Festival), and a Landscape Research Award 2021 (LandscapeResearch Group UK). Her cinema-expanded and installation works have been shown atinternational festivals and galleries, including Sonic Acts Biennial (Amsterdam), NetherlandsFilm Festival (Utrecht), Digital Art Festival (Taipei), Noorderlicht International Photo Festival (Groningen), W139 (Amsterdam), MU Hybrid Art House (Eindhoven), and Stroom (The Hague).

Louis Braddock Clarke (he/they) is an artist and researcher interpreting notions from domains of art, geography, physics, and philosophy. Listening and amplification as creative methods have become key approaches to their work relating to disrupted ecologies. Through field work, film-making, sonic tuning, and amateur geology their projects seek to speculate on the future surfaces of the Earth. Braddock Clarke’s relationship with the Geographical Arts is embedded in their formative years in Cornwall, UK, surrounded by radon moorlands, granite quoits, shifting isolines, pixies, tin mines and trans-Atlantic cable systems. These entangled Earth energies have become paramount to their ongoing research
methods relating to technologies and terrains.
Louis has been a lecturer at the Royal Academy of Art since 2019, and active research fellow at the lectorate Design and the Deep Future. Their projects are award winning, receiving the Waag Technology Award 2019, Dutch Talent Award in 2020, Landscape Research Award 2021, Gouden Kalf (Dutch Oscar) 2022, and NFF Digital Culture Research 2023.
