Linda Rocco

Arts, Technology, and Society - Curatorial Research and Academia

Linda Rocco, PhD is a London-based curator, writer, and researcher. She is Tutor (Research) in Curating Contemporary Art at the Royal College of Art and Curator (Arts & Technology) at Somerset House Studios, where she leads n-Space, an experimental fellowship and art/tech research programme.

With over ten years of freelance experience, Linda has curated exhibitions, programmes, and residencies internationally with established institutions including the Yinka Shonibare Foundation, Goethe-Institut London, Delfina Foundation, Brooklyn NARS Foundation and the Ministry of Culture Taiwan. She has also curated public realm and digital projects for the Mayor of London.

Linda’s practice-based research positions the curatorial as a site of infrastructural experimentation, pursuing transdisciplinary experiments and critical inquiries into emerging technologies, networked forms of organisation, and collaborative models. Taking a systems-oriented approach, she examines how AI, quantum computing, and decentralised technologies reconfigure economic, social, and institutional paradigms across arts infrastructures and society more broadly. Through public programming, cross-sector projects, writing, and exhibitions, she develops critical approaches that expand participation in public discourse and extend curatorial practice beyond its established institutions.

Linda holds an AHRC-funded, practice-based PhD. She regularly writes and works as curator for artists, galleries, and organisations while also consulting and evaluating projects for foundations, public authorities, and institutions on accessible, socially engaged and art/tech projects. Additionally, she gives talks, delivers lectures, and mentors artists and organisations seeking to expand their work towards viable new configurations. She is part of XORG, a member of AICA UK International Association of Art Critics, and an Advance HE Fellow.
