Jens Hauser is a media studies researcher, writer, and art curator. Based in Paris, his work explores the relationships between art, science, and technology, with a particular focus on transformations of the living in contemporary cultures. At the intersection of art history and epistemology, he developed the notion of biom ediality, an approach that analyzes how artistic practices question the forms of the living through media and technologies.
He is currently a researcher at the Medical Museion at the University of Copenhagen and a distinguished faculty member in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design at Michigan State University, where he co-directs the BRIDGE artist-in-residence program. He has also been a professor of art history at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Trained in science and technology journalism, he has been developing research for several decades that connects artistic production, scientific knowledge, and technological cultures.
As a curator, Jens Hauser has organized numerous international exhibitions and festivals dedicated to artistic practices related to biotechnology, media, and experimental forms of performance and imagery. He also collaborated with the European cultural channel ARTE since the 1990s, for which he created and produced many reports, documentaries, and radio programs dedicated to art, science, and contemporary culture.
