Bio:
Nils’ writing constellates around expressions of the ephemeral and the use of information as a material. After Khâgne, the humanities preparatory course for the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Nils studied Fashion Design at Studio Berçot, Paris. After graduation, he developed his practice alongside creative directors in the industry and decided to combine his design skills with theory by gaining an M.A. in Visual Culture. After gaining experience in the Communication department of the National Portrait Gallery and the V&A, Nils enrolled at the Royal College of Art to pursue his research. His thesis is concerned with the definition of digital debris (i.e. obsolete pieces of information) in Internet Art practices. Drawing on approaches ranging from experimental film to media theory, he is especially interested in questions of re-appropriation, language and artifice.
