Franziska von Guten (b. 1985, Italy) is an art director, artist, and researcher working across design, internet culture, and curatorial practice. Her work investigates how digital subcultures produce meaning, affect, and forms of collectivity within networked environments.

She began engaging with the internet in the mid-1990s, an encounter that continues to inform her long-term interest in the aesthetics and politics of online content. Since childhood, she has maintained an ongoing archiving practice, organising and cataloguing visual material as both method and compulsion. This sustained engagement with accumulation and classification informs her work, which often explores the tensions between the archive and its breakdown.

In 2014, she co-founded the collective Clockworkberry and co-produced Fuck Your Selfie, a multimedia project examining social media narcissism and the politics of self-representation. In 2016, she co-curated Post Vision, a platform dedicated to post-internet art, and co-founded Clusterduck, an art collective working across research, design, and transmedia practices.

With Clusterduck, she has co-created exhibitions and installations including The Detective Wall, Deep Fried Feels, and (W)hole, a cooperative world-building installation commissioned by KiöR Zürich (2025). Collective publications include The Detective Wall Guide (Aksioma, 2021) and Deep Fried Feels (Nero, 2024).

Von Guten lives and works in Berlin.
