Sculptor Louise Ward Morris
Louise Ward Morris is a British sculptor, who lives in Barcelona and London. Her practice combines diverse interests in technology, architecture, psychology, and science to create sculptures that examine the parameters of our perception through technology.
A core concern for the artist is the environmental and social consequences of technology’s lifecycle, including acute issues like e-waste.
Currently, Louise is developing a sculptural research project titled the Digital Mirage, which converges energy, light and data in space using screen technology and sculpture. The project studies how visible transitions between light and energy manifest in the digital aesthetic on-screen and includes a unique process of handmaking liquid crystal pixels.
After spending a few days in Braunschweig last October, where she met scientists from the Nitride Technology Center (NTC) of TU Braunschweig and visited laboratories, Louise Ward Morris will begin her intensive residency in spring 2026. In collaboration with NTC, Louise will investigate how light and air can function as mediums for the transmission of digital and image-based information. For instance, in the use of micro-LEDs in neuromorphic computing and translucent screens.
Artist and Filmmaker Mareike Bernien
From October 2024 until September 2025 artist and filmmaker Mareike Bernien will be conducting research and working at the QuantumFrontiers Cluster of Excellence.
Mareike Bernien was selected as the first artist-in-eresidence by a jury of art experts jury and scientists from the cluster, from over a hundred international applicants. In close dialogue with the scientists Mareike Bernien will realize a project, that highlights, questions and comments on the history and presence of quantum science. Through interviews, video and sound recordings, and the engagement with theory the artist develops a multi-perspective essay film.
