Duett; Residency Artist Mareike Bernien and Prof. Andreas Waag

Artist Mareike Bernien and QuantumFrontiers Co-Speaker Professor Andreas Waag discuss their work in science and art. What connects the two fields? How can there be an exchange and mutual inspiration?

Mareike Bernien was invited by the Science and Art Lab as TU Braunschweig's first residency artist. Since September 2024, she has been working with researchers from the QuantumFrontiers Cluster of Excellence and reflecting on (in)visibility in quantum research in a film project. Mareike Bernien has taught at numerous art institutions at the interface of theory and practice and currently teaches in the Media Art department at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. She has been a member of the production platform pong film since 2018.
