Katrina Sluis
Katrina Sluis is Head of Photography & Media Arts in the School of Art & Design at the Australian National University, Canberra, where she also co-convenes the Computational Culture Lab.
Prior to joining ANU, Katrina was based in London where she was Senior Lecturer & founding Co-Director of the Centre for the Study of the Networked Image (CSNI), London South Bank University. The Centre brought together researchers from cultural studies, software studies, art and media practice to develop knowledge and understanding of how network culture transforms the production and circulation of images and cultural objects. With an emphasis on artistic and practice-based research, the Centre addressed the separation of cultural policy, practice and theory through collaborative research partnerships with Rhizome, Tate, The Photographers' Gallery, Serpentine Galleries, Royal College of Art & Gasworks.
From 2011-2019 she also held the inaugural post of Senior Curator (Digital Programmes) at The Photographers’ Gallery, London developing artistic and public projects engaged with machine vision, synthetic imaging, net culture and speculative photographic education, commissioning new work from artists including James Bridle, Alan Warburton and Morehshin Allahyari. Key projects include the platform Unthinking.Photography, “Post-Capitalist Photography Now!” (with Ben Burbridge), “All I Know is What’s On the Internet” and “Jonas Lund: Operation Earnest Voice” which transformed a floor of The Photographers’ Gallery into a fully staffed ‘influencing agency’ tasked with reversing Brexit over 4 days in January 2019. She continues to work with The Photographers' Gallery as Adjunct Research Curator.
She serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of Photographies (Routledge) and Media:Art:Write:Now (Open Humanities Press) and the Board of Photoaccess, the ACT's centre for photography. She serves as an advisor on Serpentine Galleries Future Art Ecosystems 2 & 3, and the digital advisory board of the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA). With Andrew Dewdney she is the co-editor of The Networked Image in Post-Digital Culture (Routledge, 2022). (2024)
