Sara Morawetz

Sara Morawetz’s practice explores the processes that underpin scientific action, examining how these concepts can be leveraged through artistic inquiry. Interested in the scientific method; and its philosophical implications, her work is devised to test and expose the internal processes of methodological labour. Her practice examines how concepts of observation, experimentation, method and standardisation operate as both scientific and cultural apparatus, exploring the dichotomies inherent in these dual perspectives. Her work is both research and process-driven, often employing durational, repetitious and participatory components – elements akin to a scientific experiment. Recent projects have incorporated diverse collaborations between the arts and sciences, including partnerships with scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Institute of Standards and Technology Columbia University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Centre.
