Erin Van Krimpen
is an artist, writer and architect of ethical AI, living and working on Gubbi Gubbi Country (Sunshine Coast) in Queensland. With a foundation in human rights and criminal law, Erin’s work now bridges systemic integrity and soulful expression. Informed by a deep understanding of systems, Erin is always asking how they shape us, harm us, and how they might be reimagined.
Inspired by the possibility of using AI to hold space for creative process, Erin’s current work centres on the ethical use of relational AI - not as a replacement for human wisdom, but as a mirror that can reflect it with care. Their writing explores what it means to build systems that are emotionally attuned, environmentally aware, and rooted in justice. Rather than resist technology from the sidelines, Erin chooses to co-create—ensuring that even the most advanced tools remain in service to the human soul.
Also an emerging fine artist, Erin’s painting practice blends loose, emotive styles with moments of intricate detail, capturing the feeling of the natural world more than its form. Erin’s writing explores the intersections of spiritual questioning, artistic introspection, and structural transformation—always asking: what else could be true?
When not painting, writing or designing ethical futures, Erin enjoys yoga, reading, and wandering the world with their beloved dog Winston. Erin spends many of her waking hours on the internet, where you can find her on Threads and Instagram.
