Ben Evans James
Ben is a designer-researcher whose work explores ways that technologies construct knowledge and produce power, shaping the socio-economic landscapes within which they are embedded. As an interdisciplinary researcher, he draws upon technological cultures, media philosophy, and histories of design. Committed to practices that engage publics directly, his work moves between curatorial projects, documentary films, and written works.
Ben was part of the transmediale curatorial team 2021-2023 and rejoined as co-curator of the 2025 edition in partnership with Elise Misao Hunchuck.
