Søren Krag (b. 1987, Silkeborg, Denmark) is educated at Det Jyske Kunstakademi (Aarhus), Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology (Bangalore) and The Art Academy (Bergen, MA 2019). Often with a focus on electronic and digital tools, Krag works within a variety of mediums, using image, sound, video and installation. He is interested in ideas around symmetry and ornamentation, and how these have travelled historically and geographically between different civilizations and cultural regions around the world. The digital Jacquard weaving technique is central in Krag's work and enables him to a detailed pattern-work. An important part of his works is the creation of digital "paintings" by the help of relatively simple software. Krag is using the different tools limits as an aesthetic starting point.

Krags work is in the collection of Sogn and Fjordane art museum. In 2020 he received ’the Lumen price for art and technology: Nordic award’.
