From May to July, Louise is in exchange with the scientists at TU Braunschweig’s Nitride Technology Center (NTC).
Louise Ward Morris is a British sculptor based in Barcelona and London. Her practice combines her diverse interests in technology, architecture, psychology and science to create sculptures that explore the limits of human perception through technology.
A central concern in her work is the environmental and social impact of technological life cycles, particularly urgent issues like e-waste.
Currently, Louise is developing a sculptural research project titled „Digital Mirage“, which converges energy, light and data in space using screen technology and sculpture. The project explores how visible transitions between light and energy manifest in the digital aesthetic on-screen and includes a unique process of handmaking liquid crystal pixels.
In collaboration with NTC, Louise will investigate how light and air can function as media for the transmission of digital and image-based information - for example through the use of micro-LEDs in neuromorphic computing and translucent screens.
As part of her residency, the Science and Art Lab is hosting a series of events featuring the artist Louise Ward Morris.
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.
