Pernille Leth-Espensen is an art historian writing about installation art that interprets or makes alternative scientific representations.
Pernille Leth-Espensen investigates these artworks from perspectives of art theory, aesthetics, ethics and philosophy of science and technology.
A large part of these artworks are representing or presenting the brain and so she is also interested in how these artworks interpret notions of consciousness and subjectivity.
Pernille’s SymbioticA residency involved speaking and interacting with neuroscientists and artists in residence at UWA as well as entering the labs and utilising the tools of scientific investigation in order to better comprehend the process the artists undergo to create biological art.
