Biography

Klara Källström is a doctoral student at the University of Gothenburg, focusing on applied IT within the Department of Informatics. Her artistic practice explores how images participate in sense-making processes, critically engaging with dominant narratives that shape our understanding of the world. Källström has collaborated with Thobias Fäldt to reactivate photographic material across various contexts, emphasizing the instability of historical narratives. Her research examines the intersection of documentary practices, investigative aesthetics, and media archaeology, particularly in how visual narratives challenge dominant historical interpretations. Recent projects extend this inquiry into the algorithmic domain by analyzing the impact of AI-generated imagery on visual archives. Källström’s PhD project investigates the socio-technical practices of annotation, classification, and categorization, highlighting the influence of algorithmic systems on governance and power. Källström and Fäldt founded the publishing platform B-B-B-Books and have contributed to gallery projects in Gothenburg. Their works are part of major museum collections worldwide. Källström's artistic endeavors have gained international recognition through exhibitions across Europe and the U.S.
