Bringing structure to complexity
Katharina Arimont

Interdisciplinary Strategist

  • Experience across economic, innovation driven and
    cultural contexts; since late 2025, with an additional
    focus on financial accounting processes in SAP S/4HANA

  • Analytical and conceptually clear; strong sensitivity
    to patterns, ambiguities, dynamics and the linking
    of seemingly unrelated elements into viable structures

  • Curatorially precise in framing and narrative;
    thoughtful and responsible in working
    with people, ideas and processes of change

  • Own artistic and curatorial practice centred on
    perception and structure in everyday contexts,
    as well as conceptual projects at the intersection
    of art, technology and society

  • Genuine interest in new ideas and technologies,
    and in making complexity understandable
    while developing clarity out of multiplicity
