Stine Deja is a Danish visual artist based in Copenhagen whose work investigates the relationship between technology, identity, and human emotion. Working across video, installation, sculpture, and 3D animation, Deja creates immersive environments that reflect on how digital technologies shape human experience. Often blending satire with speculative scenarios, her projects explore topics such as artificial intimacy, digital surrogates, transhumanism, and the emotional implications of emerging scientific practices like cryonics.
I have the clearest and most creative mind between 7-13, so this is when I try to do the most creative thinking.
Have a coffee, catch up on emails and plan my day.
My partner jokes about me and my beloved measuring tapes, so I would have to mention that.
Observing the world, meeting and working with new people, and learning new skills in the metal workshop.
Farm Fantasies (2002) by MCR-T & horsegiirL
I love music and listen to lots of different genres and artists like HorsegiirL, Bendik Giske and Alice Coltrane, but when I’m in the studio its completely quiet.
I’ve been lucky to collaborate with many great artists, architects and researchers over the years, sometimes it’s an obvious match and other times not. I really love collaborating with my colleague Marie Munk, and I hope we can continue to develop more projects together.
I look forward to having a large-scale public commission realised one day soon.
Oh. Hard to say. Once I heard a former Tour de France winner describing professional athletes as 30 pct talent and 70 pct willpower, to me that’s also a quite accurate description of being a professional artist. You have to be extremely determined and patient.
”Get an accountant."
I love lots of different places, especially when they have some character and a vibe. Tranen in Gentofte is a good example of that to me. It's an amazing space, with the most incredible futuristic skylights and a super interesting program.
Their eyes and their energy.

I’m not a big drinker these days, but I do love the combination of freshly squeezed grapefruit and shōchū.
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running (2007), by Haruki Murakami
Depends on where you are in your life. I read a lot of non-fiction, and it’s very specific to the projects I’m working on.
Back in 2008 I read “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running” by Haruki Murakami, and that was quite transformative, in terms of the creative process.
Soft drinks.
I have to say New York. I feel like my inner compass aligns whenever I visit and I get a burst of energy.
Every day my daughter asks me how she can learn to fly - if I could choose that I would, so I could take her on a flight.
I think I would have done something with philosophy or something more crafty like furniture design. Luckily I get to combine conceptual thinking and crafting in my practice, so I probably ended up in the right place.
