Data Kroppe is a video artwork by Kristoffer Ørum, commissioned and broadcast by Danish national television (DR) and featured on DR Kulturklubben. The piece was first aired on November 7, 2017, as part of a series on innovative expressions in public media.
In the video, Ørum reflects on the human body as data by visually overlaying biometric patterns, abstracted motion, and rhythmic shifts of light and texture. The visuals evoke a digital anatomy—an intersection of physical presence and quantifiable information, and of a body sensed, represented and transformed in media systems.
Recognized for its experimental approach, Data Kroppe is cataloged in the Danish public digital archive Vores Kunst, which preserves commissioned television art. The piece challenges conventional media formats by introducing poetic, disconcerting aesthetics into mainstream broadcast, encouraging reflection on surveillance, representation, and identity in the digital age.
