IDA KVETNY: SCULPTOR IN THE DIGITAL AGE

In this talk, Ida Kvetny presents a practice in which classical sculpture, relief and painting connect with digital technologies such as VR, AR and AI. With an expanded understanding of sculpture, Kvetny shifts between materiality and image, body and representation, allowing hand-painted surfaces and digital models to exist side by side as simultaneous states.

Kvetny has worked with the open archive of the National Gallery of Denmark, with a particular focus on Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen’s work on painted plaster casts in Greece and works such as The Mermaid and the Horse. These historical forms are reactivated as a form of “recast” where the sculpture is shifted from original to interpretation, from physical to digital and back again.

Her presentation at DIA revolves around the transformation of sculpture in a digital era and examines how new technologies not only reproduce, but transform our way of seeing, understanding and experiencing form.

In April 2026, Ida Kvetny is a resident at the Danish Institute at Athens. You can read more about her work on her website: IDA KVETNY – Hybrid Practice
