Nora O' Murchú

Nora O’ Murchú is a curator and researcher whose work explores how digital infrastructures shape culture and politics. Her practice examines the ontology of computation — how technical systems organise power, extract value, and condition collective life. Tracing the infrastructures and interfaces that mediate relations between people, images, and technology, her work asks how these systems produce new material, social, and affective realities. From 2020 to 2024, she served as Artistic Director of transmediale in Berlin, where she developed a curatorial framework spanning exhibitions, publications, and public programmes. She is currently Professor at the University of Limerick and is developing How to Read an Image, an international exhibition and research project exploring contemporary image cultures for FACT Liverpool.
