Marie Lynn Speckert (*1989, Hanover) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans medicine, sculpture, human-computer interaction, and sound. Her work explores the intersections of technology, anatomy, and human behavior through media installations and live performances, using materials like steel, epoxy resin, and organic substances to create immersive, atmospheric experiences. With a focus on systems theory, particularly regarding the human body, her work critically examines standardized behaviors and artificial environments through a lens of individual instinct.
Speckert's research delves into parasitic and symbolic relationships between technology, sculpture, and sound within the realms of anatomy and art/media theory.
She studied metal sculpture with Prof. Andrea Zaumseil at Burg Giebichenstein, Halle, and completed her masterclass under Prof. Wilhelm Mundt and Prof. Carsten Nicolai at HfBK Dresden. Currently a PhD candidate under Prof. Martin Kaltenbrunner and Prof. Atau Tanaka at the University of Art and Design Linz, she is also a member of the Tangible Music Lab and various medical research groups in human and veterinary medicine.
Her work has been shown internationally, including exhibitions at Sølvberget Galleri (NO), the Venice Arsenale, Bæjarhátíð í Búðardal (ISL), Radial System Berlin, and Microtec (Bolzano). Speckert has been awarded scholarships from the Stiftung Berliner Leben, Kunststiftung des Freistaats Sachsen, Kunststiftung Sachsen-Anhalt, and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
