Universidad San Francisco de Quito

Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture (Aalto ARTS) is a global leader in higher education in design, fashion, games, media, architecture, film, art education and art. We also conduct world-class research in art education, design and design thinking, digital media and visual culture, urban planning and architecture. Our graduates are innovators in and beyond their fields, drawing from over a century of tradition, a humane and forward-looking approach, and the latest technologies. Our campus in Espoo, just west of Helsinki, makes working together within and across disciplines easier than ever before. The Department of Art and Media conducts research and artistic activities across a broad range of subjects and themes. These include art education, contemporary art, curating, game design, new media, photography, visual communication design and visual culture. The Department of Art and Media has been recognized internationally for high-quality artistic outputs, media productions and art pedagogical activities, scholarship, and research. The Department has approximately 800 students and over 100 staff members and provides education in Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral levels.

The position will strengthen the department's capacity to develop socially grounded frameworks for understanding how technological transformations (digital platforms, algorithmic systems, artificial intelligence) and complex societal and systemic changes are affecting creative work, cultural production, contemporary art and civic life. Generative AI, datafication, and platform-driven economic models are already reshaping the conditions under which artists, designers, and media practitioners work. Consequently, established assumptions about authorship, compensation, and the distribution of cultural value are shifting rapidly. This professorship will offer a systemic and critically informed perspective on these transformations, drawing on transdisciplinary studies on topics such as politics, economy, digital transformation, and their impact on art and society. The Professor in Art, Society and Technology has a cross-disciplinary, and integrative understanding of how art & media, technology and work, intersect and are informed by research on themes such as political, economic and digital infrastructures. This international and comparative outlook complements the department's existing strengths in new media, visual cultures, game studies, transdisciplinary art studies, art education and contemporary art by situating research within wider social contexts.
