When light becomes an illusion: Louise Ward Morris in Braunschweig
With Mirages, the Science Showcase in Braunschweig opens a space between art and research, between optical perception and digital illusion. Louise Ward Morris, as a sculptor, combines new media, technology, and scientific questions into an art experience that sharpens the senses and challenges conventional ways of seeing.
An art experience between mirage and screen
The exhibition is based on the artistic engagement with light, optoelectronics, and the fragility of digital images. Inspired by Vilém Flusser's considerations on the instability of reality and representation, Morris raises the question of what makes an image still truly experiential today. The screen appears as a technological mirage: present, glowing, seductive, and yet difficult to grasp.
Sculpture, research, and digital aesthetics
Louise Ward Morris works as a British sculptor focusing on new media, media archaeology, and the material dimension of technology. Her practice combines electronic components, screens, energy, data, and spatial compositions into works that oscillate between sculpture, installation, and scientific research. In Braunschweig, the project was developed in the context of an artist residency at the Nitride Technology Center of TU Braunschweig. There, artistic research met semiconductor technology, light physics, and questions about digital perception.
What visitors can expect
The exhibition opens up an experience of the work that is both poetic and analytical. Light is not only experienceable as a physical phenomenon, but also as a medium of knowledge and deception. The atmosphere of the exhibition promises a concentrated, calm, and at the same time intellectually rich encounter with contemporary art that operates at the intersections of science, culture, and aesthetic experience.
Education, dialogue, and cultural mediation
As a project of the Science and Art Lab, Mirages stands for cultural education in the best sense: art is not shown in isolation here, but placed in dialogue with research, technology, and the public. This curated connection makes the exhibition particularly exciting for art enthusiasts, students, families, and all the curious. Those interested in contemporary art, media art, and the aesthetic dimension of science will find a precisely composed art experience here.
Conclusion: Mirages offers a clever, sensually charged exhibition about light, perception, and digital realities. Anyone seeking art as a space for thought and experience should definitely visit this showcase in Braunschweig live.
