Sidsel Meineche Hansen (born 1981 in Denmark, lives and
works in London) is a Danish artist. She produces exhibitions,
interdisciplinary seminars and publications that foreground the body and its
industrial complex, in what she refers to as a "techno-somatic variant of
institutional critique". Meineche Hansen questions the body in the field of
industrial representations: robotic or virtual bodies, and their
relationship with the
working
world of industries of
gaming,
pornography, and
new
technologies. Her research-led practice has taken the form of woodcut
prints, sculptures and CGI animations, often made by combining her own
low-tech manual craft with outsourced, skilled digital labour.
