Nora O’ Murchú

Nora O’ Murchú is a curator and researcher whose work explores how digital infrastructures—software, algorithms, and networks—reshape contemporary culture and politics. Drawing on queer-feminist and postcapitalist theory, her projects expose how technology can embed fascist and extractivist logics while simultaneously revealing cracks for collective action and dissent. She has curated exhibitions, residencies, and public programmes at Akademie Schloss Solitude, LABoral, and the Seoul Museum of Art, and served as Artistic Director of transmediale—Europe’s leading festival for art and digital culture—from 2020 to 2024. Her practice questions the boundaries between art and technology, asking how we might reclaim space for agency and collaboration amid the accelerating reconfigurations of techno-social life and the illusions of techno-solutionism. She currently serves as a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems at the University of Limerick in Ireland.
