S+T+ARTS Ec(h)o: Art meets quantum research at TUD — beyond the Quantum Year
As part of the S+T+ARTS Ec(h)o Residency, hosted by the Office for Academic Heritage, Scientific and Art Collections (Kustodie), artist Johanna Bruckner visited Dresden once again. At TUD as well as at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, she gained insights into current research on quantum materials and high-field THz physics.
Our heartfelt thanks go to Prof. Dr. Aparajita Singha(Chair of Nanoscale Quantum Materials, TUD) and her team as well as Prof. Dr. Sebastian F. Maehrlein(Head of the Department of High-Field THz-Driven Phenomena, HZDR; Chair of High-Field THz Physics, TUD) for the intensive exchange at the interface of art, science and technology.
In her current artistic research, Johanna Bruckner combines these impulses with investigations into algorithmic modeling, climate dynamics and questions of material ethics. The resulting multimedia works - video, sculpture, sound and performance - translate scientific findings into aesthetic spaces of experience and open up new perspectives on the interdependence of technology, the environment and society.
