Sculptor Louise Ward Morris
Louise Ward Morris is a British sculptor based in Barcelona and London. In her work, she combines diverse interests in technology, architecture, psychology, and science to create sculptures that explore the parameters of our perception through technology.
A central concern of the artist is the ecological and social consequences of the often short lifespan of technology, as exemplified by electronic waste.
Louise Ward Morris is currently developing a sculptural research project titled “Digital Mirage,” which brings together energy, light, and data in space using screen technology and sculpture. The project explores how visible transitions between light and energy manifest in digital aesthetics on the screen and involves a unique process of handcrafting liquid crystal pixels.
After spending a few days in Braunschweig in October 2025, where she met with researchers from the Nitride Technology Center (NTC) at the Technical University of Braunschweig and visited laboratories, Louise Ward Morris will begin her intensive residency phase in the spring of 2026. In collaboration with the NTC, Louise Ward Morris intends to investigate how light and air can function as media for transmitting digital and image-based information, such as in the use of micro-LEDs in neuromorphic computers and translucent screens.
Artist and Filmmaker Mareike Bernien
From October 2024 to September 2025, artist and filmmaker Mareike Bernien will be conducting research and working at the QuantumFrontiers Cluster of Excellence.
From over one hundred international applications, Mareike Bernien was selected by a panel of experts and the scientists involved in the cluster as the first artist-in-residence at the Science and Art Lab. In close collaboration with the researchers of the Cluster of Excellence, Mareike Bernien is realizing a project that illuminates, questions, and comments on the history and present of quantum research as well as the work of the cluster. Through interviews, film and sound recordings, and an engagement with theoretical writings, the artist is creating a multi-perspective essay film.
Kick-Off: ResearchRegion Science Showcase
The Science and Art Lab Visits the ResearchRegion Science Showcase
The Science and Art Lab launched as a pilot project at the ResearchRegion Braunschweig Science Showcase from March to June 2025. Located in the heart of downtown Braunschweig, the Science and Art Lab developed a variety of formats to convey the connection between science and art to the public.
