Cansu Waldron is a writer and curator dedicated to exploring the intersection of art and technology. Originally from Istanbul, Türkiye and now based in New York, she earned her MA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts as a Wasserman Scholar and has since been shaping conversations around digital art through curatorial work, writing, and public speaking.

In 2023, she founded Digital Arts Blog, a publication devoted to supporting digital artists, promoting inclusivity, and fostering a deeper public understanding of digital practices. The platform has since become a resource for both emerging and established creators.

Her curatorial projects include Making Our Miracles (2025-26), a collaborative digital ex-voto exhibition with artist Clayton Campbell and international artists, presented in Digital Arts Blog’s pavilion for The Wrong Biennale. She also curated Blink Twice (2025), Hudson’s first augmented reality–driven exhibition, which combined physical prints with interactive digital layers.

Earlier, she curated We’ve Been Dreaming About a Magical Jungle (2023–24), the official pavilion for The Wrong Biennale, which brought together eleven digital artists from around the world in a virtual exhibition exploring empowerment, intimacy, and the organic within the digital. She also co-curated Women of the World (2022) at NFT.NYC in collaboration with Infinite Objects, NOWHERE, and STARTBAHN — featuring over 130 women-identifying NFT artists from all seven continents.

Cansu has served on selection committees and juries for major new media awards and fellowships, including the Lumen Prize (Literature & Poetry category), NYFA/NYSCA Fellowship, Rauschenberg Medical Emergency Grants, CREATE SCR Grant, and UArt Media Festival in Kyiv, Ukraine.

As a speaker and thought leader, she has contributed to numerous panels and publications. She spoke at NFT.NYC 2025 on “The Evolution of Digital Art NFTs” and moderated “The Future of Color” panel in 2024. Her writing includes interviews, essays, and forewords for art books, including Clayton Campbell’s Trance of Thought, as well as features in major media outlets such as Forbes, Lifewire, Medicinal Media, and Blue Tech Wave Media. She also appeared in a documentary by NYU Cinema Studies, offering insights into the possibilities of interactive storytelling.

Through it all, she’s all about championing digital artists, keeping the creative conversation going, and making sure art, tech, and culture actually connect in a meaningful way.

Her name sounds like John+Sue, but she’ll definitely respond to Kansu, so no worries.
