  • Nicole Grüneis

    Nicole Grüneis is Head of Education & Content Development at the Ars Electronica Center. In this position, she is responsible for developing exhibition content and narratives for a wide range of target groups, designing museum programs, and training cultural mediators and information trainers. Nicole has been with Ars Electronica since 2008. During her first few years there, she gained experience in active art and cultural education at the museum. Enabling as many people as possible to think outside the box and encouraging them to reflect was also her credo during her studies. By designing her own individual curriculum, “Psychology & Art,” Nicole trained in a transdisciplinary approach to cultural productions.
