MAX IV Artist in Residence: Jennifer Rainsford!
I am honored to be named the Artist in Residence at MAX IV, where I will continue my exploration of the invisible threads that connect our existence. I look forward to sharing this journey and discovering new ways to tell the stories that connect us all.
During her residency, Jennifer will have access to IAC’s technical equipment, staff and facilities to further her exploration of the connections between art, science, and technology.
Jennifer Rainsford is a Stockholm based artist whose artistic practice engages with the interface between art, film and science, through film, installation and interdisciplinary collaborations with researchers and activists. Her work explores the relationships between humans, technology and nature. She has conducted long-term collaborations with researchers such as Michalis Averof (regenerative biology, CNRS/ENS Lyon) as well as projects at Tohoku University, the International Pacific Research Center, and astronaut physicians at the European Space Agency.
She currently teaches at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm in film, where she works with the Center for Art and Digitality exploring expanding formats and new technologies.
