Dr. Marlene Bart
Marlene Bart is a visual artist and researcher whose practice resides at the nexus of natural history, anatomy, and visual art.

This approach exemplifies Bart’s keen interest in the interplay between technology and techno-imagination. Bart holds a PhD from the Bauhaus-University in Weimar, where she explored the theme of »The Artist’s Book as a Multimedia Encyclopedia«.
