Kristina Austi

Austi is participating in the MUNCH Triennale with the textile work The Game of Life (2023).

Born in 1978 in Lithuania. Based in Bergen, Norway.

Austi’s practice focuses on digital jacquard weaving, textiles, and installations. Her work bridges traditional craft and contemporary technology, exploring the woven surface and its construction. By using artificial intelligence to generate new weaving patterns based on images of her own handwoven works, she challenges notions of originality and authenticity and explores the relationship between machine and artist.

Austi has participated in numerous international group exhibitions, including the Textile Triennials in Riga (Latvia) and Łódź (Poland), the Textile Biennials in Rijswijk (Netherlands), Vilnius (Lithuania), Guimarães (Portugal), and exhibitions in the USA, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, and Sweden.
