alex/alexandra sofie jönsson



is a socially engaged artist working with queer, eco-critical imaginations of relations with the environment by engaging collective and pedagogical formats. They work with video, sound, sculpture, and building projects – often exploring how artistic practice can become a site of collective thinking and practice in response to institutional spaces and contexts, and thus their work is process-based, collaborative, and exploratory.

They have previously shown work at Art Center Nabi, Lewisham Hospital, Tate Modern, Kunsthal NORD and Roskilde Festival. They are one of the co-founders of lím collective, a platform based in Aalborg exploring artistic practices at the intersections of health and care, and a former organiser of Goldsmiths University collective The Open System Association, Autonomous Tech Fetish (ATF), and The Body Recovery Unit.

Betty Ciphers Algorithmic Recipe Generator (2016)
AI meal and recipe
in collaboration with Cliff Hamett
The Museum of Contemporary Commodities,  Exeter (UK)




Betty Ciphers Algorithmic Recipe Generator is an experiment in industrial cooking anarchy powered by packaging data from the bin and human bodies. The work is created using disused food and drink packaging from the bins in local eateries in Exeter, and donated human footsteps from staff and customers wearing pedometers. The algorithm is programmed to use up 45,255 footsteps to write a 45,255 step recipe book which combines ingredients at random to create either bizarre delights or culinary chaos.

Kindly supported by local businesses in Exeter. A part of the Museum for Contemporary Commodities.
