Thomas Pausz is a researcher and interdisciplinary practitioner born in Paris and based in Iceland. He is a PhD candidate in Experimental Humanities at the University of Iceland, where his project explores the sensory ties between humans and non-humans in artificial ecosystems, and the role of media dispositifs in amplifying interspecies co-creation. His recent works include Non Flowers for a Hoverfly—a VR world for insect pollinators developed with biologists—and Shellreaders, a speculative archive inscribing human knowledge into seashells. His publications include Amplifying Ecosystems: Interspecies Media Practices for the book Post-Normal Design, and Pyrophile: On Plants and Disasters for the French literature magazine Sève. Engaged with eco-fiction, Pausz curated the seminar Species Without Spaces at ESAM Caen-Cherbourg, and published the essay Making New Land: An Intertidal Aesthetics, reimagining coastal ecologies in a world without oceans. He is currently curating an exhibition on Soil Ecofictions, opening at the Nordic House in Reykjavík in Spring 2026.
