About Cody Lukas
Danish-Canadian artist based in Copenhagen.
Recognizing the ethical and existential impact of emerging next-generation technologies, from biotech to machine learning and AI, Cody Lukas’ artistic practice is an exploration of the shifting dynamics between various forms of living systems in the world today.
Navigated themes of presence and perception, his work often focuses of challenging anthropocentric ways of understanding otherness; both as it pertains to human interaction with one another as well as with the inhabited environment.
