Sasha Gartside Knudsen is a British/Danish, 26 year-old visual artist specialising in fine art photography. Based in Copenhagen she holds BA(Hons) in Fine Art from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee, Scotland and mainly uses her Canon EOS 77D with an 18-200mm Tamron lens for her work. Her artistic practice is grounded in an exploration of the interplay between technology, identity and philosophy as well as the opportunities and questions it presents through artistic expression. Through her work, she seeks to unify the collaboration between digital as well as analogue techniques with the richness of identity and her reverence and consciousness for nature. By embracing emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, VR experiences, sound design, digital photography and editing softwares such as Photoshop, her practice explores the

societal and ethical implications of the intersection between art and technology. It facilitates engagement with several sensorial, esoteric, philosophic and most importantly personal registers, allowing for an alternative mode of representation and storytelling while always ensuring to remain authentic, responsible and meaningful. It welcomes and relishes in saturated colour, exploring the relationship between application and emotion, and engages in an ever-changing experience of the human condition aiming to reflect the diverse facets of identity and experience. She aims to navigate the delicate balance between the ethical considerations and potential artistic innovation inherent in technological advancements, ultimately seeking to inspire introspection on how art is becoming influenced by them. Post-processing is crucial to her work, as she absorbs the contradictio-

ns of a postmodern, post industrial society world through her lens and seeks to reshape, reuse and re-experience our experience of it. Sasha’s artworks have been showcased in galleries nationally and internationally, in online galleries and magazines. She was shortlisted for the Global Design Graduate Show 2022 in collaboration with GUCCI and Artist Initiated Projects (AIP) at PP/S 2023 with Pallas Projects. Other than her main art, she also enjoys mixed media for her work that leans more towards editorial and fashion photography. It’s a direction she is hoping will blossom in her working life, as it runs parallel to her main practice. In her freelance commissions, she has applied her long exposure light art technique to nightlife scenes and delved into family + baby photography as well
