Anna-Luise Lorenz
Artist, Speaker
Anna-Luise Lorenz is a designer, researcher, and artist based in Berlin. Her research-based work explores the corrupting forces of reality which find expression in the anomalies of empiricism and rationalism: the weird, the absurd, or the enigmatic processes within biological and technological systems. Through a wide range of media such as performance, installation, animation and fictional short stories Anna explores the human and non-human body as a pivotal point for the emergence of new hybrid beings, and accidental or deliberate non-human design practices.
Her work has been shown internationally, amongst others, at Futurium Museum Berlin (GER), the 26th Biennial of Design Ljubljana (SLO), Crosstalk International Video Art Festival (HU), the Venice Biennial of Architecture (IT), and USC Cinematic Arts (USA).
Anna holds a Master of Arts in Design Interactions from the Royal College of Art London as well as a Diploma in Communication Design from the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg. In 2019 she was a researcher as part of the New Normal think tank at Strelka Institute Moscow and is currently a lecturer in Interaction Design at Folkwang University of the Arts Essen.
