Viola Lukács is a curator and writer based between Basel and Berlin, whose practice investigates the complex entanglements of human and nonhuman agencies through contemporary art. Her curatorial work is rooted in a deep attentiveness to systems — ecological, technological, and cultural — and their shifting interdependencies. In 2015, she curated “MetaMetria”, a landmark exhibition devoted to the sculptural and conceptual oeuvre of Bernar Venet. She has worked with renowned institutions such as Sotheby’s, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and Postmasters Gallery in New York. In 2021, Lukács co-founded NFT DEB, Europe’s first generative hackathon and conference, a pioneering initiative at the nexus of art, technology, and climate consciousness. She is also the founding curator of BINÁLÉ, Budapest’s digital art biennial. Viola currently serves as the Director of Curatorial Affairs of a Basel-based new media art collection, 0xCollection.
