    Jakob Kudsk Steensen is a New York-based Danish artist and art director specializing in real-time simulations of ecosystems displayed as video installations and virtual reality. Through his practice, Steensen is concerned with how imagination, technology, and ecology intertwine. He develops futuristic virtual simulations of existing landscapes in the real world with the aim of generating new types of ecological consciousness. To develop his work, Steensen ventures on intense excursions where he collects organic material and photographs plants, rocks and sediments. Inspired by ecology-oriented science fiction and conversations with biologists and ethnographers, he turns source material collected in the field into imaginative virtual worlds that my anthropomorphic creatures inhabit.
