Linda Hilfling Ritasdatter is an artist-researcher examining the cultural impact of technological development as it manifests itself in asymmetric power structures. Her practice takes the form of interventions reflecting upon or revealing hidden gaps within digital infrastructures — the place where a system fails, and its inadequacies become visible. Linda’s methodology is based on extensive research, material engagement and field work in, for example, labour outsourcing and automation as well as investigations of programming languages and outmoded technological apparatuses and systems. Works range from software interventions to concepts for re-appropriating infrastructures such as ATM-machines or surveillance cameras to local-media platforms. She has presented and exhibited her work widely, among others at Overgaden – Copenhagen Institute of Contemporary Art, The Winchester Gallery, Århus Kunsthal, Tent/International Film Festival Rotterdam, The Danish National Gallery (SMK) and the transmediale, Impakt, and Piksel festivals.
Currently, Linda is a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Arts and Communication at Malmö University and a visiting research fellow at Goldsmith's Digital Culture Unit at the Department of Media, Communications and Cultural Studies, University of London. The postdoc is based on the project, Labour of Automation (2022-2025), for which she was awarded a three-year international post-doc grant in artistic research from the Swedish Research Council. Between 2020-2023 Linda was external Senior Lecturer in Design for Change at the Department of Design at Linnaeus University, Sweden.
