Louise Ward Morris transforms light into an artistic experience between science and perception
With Mirages, the science showcase in Braunschweig opens a space where art, research, and visual experience intersect. The exhibition by Louise Ward Morris demonstrates how light, screens, and technological image worlds become a precise question of reality and illusion. The presentation runs from August 20, 2026, to September 15, 2026, at the science showcase on Waisenhausdamm 8; admission is free.

Light as material, image as question
Louise Ward Morris works as an award-winning sculptor with new media, electronics, phenomenology, and science. Her practice understands digital devices like phones, computers, and screens as sculptural material and explores how technology shapes our human image. The artist, who was born in London and lives and works in Barcelona, connects artistic production with a critical perspective on digital culture and technological development.

Between mirage and screen
The project Mirages connects to the research of the Nitride Technology Center of TU Braunschweig and examines light as both a source of knowledge and a carrier of deception. The exhibition text describes the screen as the technological counterpart to the mirage and questions what happens when something is materially present yet appears as something else. This is precisely the strength of this exhibition: it translates optoelectronics and perception into an aesthetic experience that activates both the mind and the senses.

Science and art in public space
The science showcase in the center of Braunschweig focuses on open access to research and culture. The city and TU Braunschweig describe the place as a presentation space where science becomes visible, discussable, and relatable to everyday life. The Science and Art Lab uses this framework for exhibitions, discussion evenings, and workshops, providing art education in the best sense: accessible, dialogical, and educationally oriented.

An art experience for the curious, students, and art lovers
Those who visit Mirages will not experience a classical image series but an exhibition at the intersection of installation, media art, and research. The exhibition is aimed at everyone who understands art appreciation not just as seeing but as thinking with the eyes. Particularly in the interaction of technology, scientific context, and artistic curation, a special exhibition atmosphere unfolds that makes Braunschweig visible as a cultural and scientific location.
