Cody Lukas is a Danish-Canadian artist based in Copenhagen, specializing in conceptual art that bridges the worlds of art, science, and technology.
Driven by a fascination with emerging technologies, ranging from synthetic biology to machine learning, Lukas’ work engages with cutting-edge research, transforming abstract scientific concepts into accessible and thought-provoking experiences. From interactive soft robotics to architectural installations made of living materials, his works bring attention to the fragile and evolving nature of our living environment, encouraging dialogue about sustainability, identity, and the ethical implications of new technologies.
Lukas’ work has been exhibited internationally, receiving distinction from Prix Ars Electronica, with his most recent project being scheduled to be sent to the moon by the end of 2025.
Since 2020, Lukas has been part of the team at the art-tech studio ARTificial Mind, creating artworks that have been exhibited at venues including Ars Electronica, Copenhagen Contemporary, Biennale Nemo, Onassis Centre, and The International Space Station. As well as commissioned works for Novo Nordisk, Adidas, and the United Nations.
