Nils Taki Claesson (born 1958 in Stockholm), is an artist, filmmaker, author, and artistic researcher at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.[1][2]

Life

[edit]

Claesson received his PhD in fine arts from the Film and Media Department at Stockholm University of the Arts with the dissertation The Ghost Machine: Seven changes and transitions – animation processes in animated film.[3][4]

Claesson joined the newspaper ETC[5] 1979–1984, where he was a co-owner for a while.[6][7] He had acting roles in two films in the 1980s, among other things in Stig Larsson's film Ängel,[8] but he has mainly directed, written manuscript and worked with animated films and radio documentaries. He has been working with digital media since the mid-1990s, and has played a central role in the development of Swedish digital art through his work for the artistic creative space for art and computing (CRAC), where he was chairman from 2002 to 2005.[9][10] In connection with this, he established a broad international network, and organized international exhibitions such as "Money, a comment on the new economy”,[11][12] as well as seminars and exchange projects with other media labs in Europe. He also led the network for media labs in Norway, Pnek 2001–2002, and was one of the artists behind the Association for Temporary Art [a: t] a platform for art online (1997–2007).[13][14] He has also been active in the artist-driven galleries Tegen2 and ID:I gallery.[15] Claesson has exhibited extensively in Sweden and Europe.

The book The Blueberry Machine,[16] published 2009, is about his father Stig Claesson.
