Dr. Benedict Carpenter van Barthold is an artist, scholar, and digital custodian dedicated to the work of anti-oblivion. Grounded in the physical reality of the studio, his sculptural practice has been recognised by the Jerwood Sculpture Prize and exhibited internationally. He pairs a foundational understanding of making and materials with a career leading Fine Art departments. His focus now is working with artists, beyond traditional archiving, to ensure that a life’s work inherits a sovereign narrative rather than a storage unit.
Benedict brings this artist-first perspective to the technology sector as the Director of Culture at Vieunite. He guides the ethical transition of heritage and private collections into the digital economy, ensuring the mark of the maker is protected by rigorous provenance, context, and academic care.
