Lina Ruth Harder

I am a PhD Fellow at the University of Bergen’s Center for Digital Narrative (CDN), where I study how artificial intelligence simulates historical figures through chatbots, voice clones, and AI-generated images. I focus on how large language models and conversational interfaces influence new narrative forms and their impact on audiences, cultural memory, education, and storytelling.

Who owns an AI-generated likeness? How do we address bias and consent?
What happens when archives fall silent or history is rewritten by machines?

My approach is practice-based. I build and test AI-driven narrative experiences to understand how they shape our engagement with the past. I have worked in communication and curation at museums in Germany, developing exhibitions and digital content.

I welcome opportunities for collaboration, invited talks, research partnerships, curatorial projects, and peer review. I am a native German speaker, fluent in English, and have working proficiency in French.

To discuss potential cooperation, please contact me by email.

In 2026, I’m bringing my work to audiences in Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands. My talks and lectures have taken me to Brazil, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the United States, and across Norway, and I designed and ran an online creative workshop with the Goethe Institute in Lisbon.
