Louis Morlæ

Louis Morlæ’s practice utilises digital rendering, design and manufacturing processes to produce sculpture, video and installation.

Through his sculptures, which reference domestic and industrial design language, Morlæ proposes an act of 're-worlding' – creating objects that question technological constructs and explore our potential to dream of new worlds.

Using digital animation, Morlæ brings his sculptures to life; they become the central characters in surreal narratives, engaging with ideas of the metaverse, escapism and the boundless speculative potential of these digital spaces.

Morlæ is interested in understanding how technology can be deployed to shape society, while offering reflection on the associated dangers, ambitions, and hopes that it presents.

Morlæ's main focus on the residency is to learn about the developing fields of social robotics and A.I., with the hope of coming away from the residency with a new perspective, expanding his knowledge and potential as an artist working with technologyMorlæ's main focus on the residency is to learn about the developing fields of social robotics and A.I., with the hope of coming away from the residency with a new perspective, expanding his knowledge and potential as an artist working with technology.
