Rut Karin Zettergren is a visual artist, who’s works explore histories and theories surrounding technofeminisms, military technological heritage, transatlantic cultural heritage, and futurism. Zettergren uses speculative fiction and science fiction as tools to weave together and explore these subjects through drawing, performance, virtual reality, and moving images, as well as through artistic collaborations as S.O.N.G and Whyte&Zettergren.       Rut Karin is currently pursuing a PhD in art with the research project Cyborg Perception- Technofeminist strategies for exploring utopia through military coded infrared imaging technology at Uniarts Helsinki.

    Scylla’s Opulent Noise Generator (S.O.N.G.) is a collective of multi-disciplinary artists living and working in different time zones. S.O.N.G. believes in collectivity to build worlds and imagine art for the future. SONG’s core members are Rut Karin Zettergren (FI), Choterina Freer (U.K.) and Anna Kinbom (SE).With three core members, they regularly expand the framework: inviting multiple artists into their polymorphic practice. S.O.N.G.’s art practice takes many forms such as: collective drawing and writings; video installations; game creation; performances; seminars; and rituals. Past exhibitions and performances include BFI London Film Festival, Woven Places, AR-exhibition by Swedish Art Associations, Futureless Festival in Stockholm, Tallinn Feminist Forum, and Work Hard! Play Hard! Minsk. With 0s+1s Collective (2013-19) which focus was cyberfeminism they exhibited in Casa Victor Hugo, Cuba, Södertälje konsthall, Göteborgs konsthall and Gotlands Konstmuseum.
