About Vibeke Bertelsen

Vibeke Bertelsen, who works under the name Udart, is a Danish artist mixing visuals and technology since the late 2010s. The name "Udart" comes from a Danish word meaning something that evolves unpredictably – a perfect match for her freewheeling approach to digital art.

Udart started her creative work as a VJ for concerts and underground club nights in Copenhagen. Today, she's part of the renowned Vertigo Artist Studio in Copenhagen, where she creates visual art for concerts and theater productions.

She loves playing with body transformations in her work – making dancers out of fingers and hands or creating trippy kaleidoscopic videos of faces. "Don't fear the weird" is a motto (coined by her friend Dy). Instead of trying to fix AI's quirks like strange-looking hands, she leans into the weirdness and makes it her signature style.

While diving into the AI art scene, Udart draws inspiration from both old-school and current vibes. She feels a kinship with surrealists and dadaists who broke all the visual rules back in their day. At the same time, she keeps tabs on contemporary digital artists pushing boundaries with new tech.

Her work has popped up in exhibitions across Europe and the US and scoring honorable mentions in Project Odyssey (2024-2025). In 2023 with Vertigo, she had a video installation featured at the prestigious National Gallery in Copenhagen.

Whether she's making short films or experimental videos, Udart keeps it playful and stays open to unexpected results. She sees AI as a tool that can truly change art and culture, opening doors to new kinds of creativity we can't even imagine yet.
