Anna Hoetjes (1984, NL) is a visual artist and film maker. She works with video, installation, collaborative performances and lectures, often translating scientific datasets into tangible and tactile experiences. With her projects she aims to make visible the cultural foundations on which contemporary Western science was built, and how many valuable knowledge systems were cast aside in that process. By replacing dominant scientific narratives with speculative alternatives, especially focusing on space science and sci-fi, she imagines a history/present/future where womxn, non-colonial and non-human perspectives have been equally foundational in our understanding of science.
Hoetjes studied Fine Art and Video at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, the Cooper Union in New York and the UdK in Berlin. She got her Master of Fine Arts at the Dutch Art Institute in the Netherlands. Her work was shown amongst others at W139 Amsterdam (NL), Fosun Foundation Shanghai (CN), EPFL Foundation Lausanne (CH), Lunds Konsthall (SE), TENT Rotterdam (NL), Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm (SE), the ArtScience museum, Singapore (SIN), the nGbK, Berlin (DE), the Glasgow Film Festival (UK) and Labocine Platform New York (USA).
