Novam Artem emerged as a cross-disciplinary cultural platform designed to explore the intersections between public art, moving image, urban storytelling, and critical cultural discourse. Novam Artem functioned both as a curatorial project and a conceptual framework for collaborative experimentation across artistic disciplines.

Founded by Jakob Hindhede, Novam Artem emerged as a hybrid artistic collective in Copenhagen — later transition as ART Monday. Jakob & I, joined forces in 2015 and launched an ideology of concepts, to promote contemporary voices in their purest form and shape.

Rooted in the ethos of site-specificity and open access, Novam Artem invited artists, performers, filmmakers, and cultural practitioners to investigate how art can operate in and with public space. Through experimental film screenings, urban performances, and panel conversations, the project brought diverse voices into dialogue — often blending analog and digital practices, institutional and grassroots networks, and static and performative modes of exhibition.

What began as a public program developed into something more dynamic — a living archive and a methodology for activating new types of artistic community. Novam Artem challenged traditional formats of curation and authorship, placing emphasis on co-creation, transdisciplinarity, and shared ownership. Its evolving nature allowed for the project to remain responsive to social, spatial, and cultural urgencies, paving the way for continued experimentation beyond its original scope.
