Ada Ada Ada, Hus, 2023
'Hus' is a temporal generative art data visualization about care work and gender. Each variation of the work provides a unique perspective of the gender gap in care work within Danish society. Utilizing time and movement as a visualizer technique, the underlying data set is meant to be understood by the spectator through prolonged exposure to the work.

about Ada Ada Ada
How can algorithms be used to understand and challenge experiences of gender in novel ways? This is the question at the heart of my art practice. She combines data, theory and computation to view gender through new lenses, perspectives and interpretations. Formally, she employs a wide array of expressive forms, such as generative art, photography, writing, performance and net art. Her work often deals directly with societal struggles, concerns and politics, for example through data visualization or performative engagements.

in transitu, 2023
On Instagram, I post an update from my gender transition every Thursday. The initial question was: When will Instagram ban my nipples? On March 30th, 2023, it finally happened.
The in transitu project is a challenge to the Instagram moderation protocols and an exploration of how gender is perceived by algorithms. Meta's platform has a rule that female nipples are not allowed to be displayed on pictures, unless in certain specified context, e.g. breastfeeding or acts of protest. However, as a trans woman currently undergoing a gender transition, Instagram struggles to see me and my nipples as female. So each week I put up a picture of myself, where my nipples are visible, as my gender expression evolves.
On March 30th, 2023, my first selfie was removed from the platform for displaying nudity. The image is shown below. The occasion was celebrated with my followers, who cheered me along and send me congratulations. However, the event was also a stark reminder that my digital male privilege is gone.
Klyft, 2022
Klyft is a juxtaposition of two different projections for the future. One, made by the World Economic Forum, suggests that the global gender gap will have closed by the year 2154. The other, by the UN IPCC, estimates that global warming will reach 3.2 degrees celcius by the year 2100.
Klyft makes use of the unique temporal aspect of computational art by developing its expression gradually over the next 132 years. As we come closer to 2154, the space between the two shapes in Klyft will grow smaller to symbolize the closing of the gender gap. As time goes on, however, Klyft also becomes more and more glitched out to represent the projected increases in greenhouse gases and climate catastrophes.
In the end, Klyft’s expression will be heavily corrupted, and the two shapes will have reached each other.
“Klyft” is part of the fxhash interactive minting experience at PARIS+ par Art Basel.
'Representation', 2021
Explore the world of gender politics through vibrant circles.
Representation is an artwork/data visualization about the gender split in parliaments across the world.
Each minted artwork gets assigned 6 countries from different regions. 1 country from the Pacific, 1 from Europe, 1 from Asia, 1 from the Americas, 1 from Sub-saharan Africa and 1 from the Middle East and North Africa.
Each circle in your artwork represents the gender split of the parliament(s) in one of those countries by using colors. The legend in the bottom right can be used to decipher which color means what.
This artwork was created using p5js.
