Moritz Wehrmann

Dr. Moritz Wehrmann is a Lecturer at the University of Art and Design Linz in the Department of Art History and Art Theory, with a focus on Gender Studies and Curatorial Practice. He serves as an Artistic Associate at Bauhaus University Weimar (2022–2024) and previously held roles at the International Center for Cultural Technology Research and Media Philosophy (IKKM) Weimar (2016–2022).

• Education: MFA in Media Art and Design (Bauhaus University Weimar, 2012); Media Art & Design (College of Fine Arts, UNSW Sydney, 2008); training as an IT system electronics technician.

His research spans Generative AI, human-machine interfaces, empathy research (in collaboration with Prof. Alain Berthoz), media history, and media ecology. His work often bridges art theory with experimental practices in spatial and cognitive studies.

Publications highlight interdisciplinary themes: neuroscience and art (2018 Nature article), media philosophy (contributions to Dieter Mersch's yearbook), and conceptual art (exhibition catalogs like Face to Face – Interface in Bratton's The Stack). Collaborative projects with Bauhaus institutions and the Cluster of Excellence Image Knowledge Design (2016–2018) emphasize his integration of art, technology, and philosophy.

Wehrmann has contributed to numerous exhibitions since 2014, including Alter Ego (Ars Electronica Festival, 2019) and Speculative Ground (Galerie Eigenheim, 2019), often exploring themes of self-other distinction and spatial structures.
