Morgan Green (they/them) explores the relationship between technology and knowledge – especially those forms of knowledge that are easier to feel than to describe. Green repurposes logic-driven tools and methods from science and engineering, paradoxically, to explore those ways of knowing that push logic’s boundaries.

Green has shown art internationally, including solo and two-person exhibitions with The New Media Caucus’s Header/Footer Gallery, Mana Contemporary Chicago, and Currents 826 in Santa Fe. Their writing has appeared in Art 21 Magazine, The Critical Coding Cookbook: Intersectional Feminist Approaches to Teaching and Learning, and Sixty Inches from Center. They have presented work at ISEA, Currents New Media Festival, DOC NYC, and the New Media Caucus Future Bodies Symposium, and their work occupies public collections including Amherst Special Collections and Archives. 

Morgan holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Previous academic appointments include Assistant Professor of Computer and Information Science at Allegheny College. They are now an Assistant Professor of Creative Technologies and Design at The University of Regina.

DOUBLE SLIT: Analog Quantum Photography
Quantum physics holds potentially world-altering beauty, but that beauty is rendered inaccessible to most people. Physics is reputed to be one of the hardest subjects to learn, and those who practice it are disproportionately white, male, and cis. This project punctures these boundaries through interdisciplinary practice. It recontextualizes the double slit experiment, which is central to quantum mechanics, as art. 

From their position as a queer and multi-ethnic artist, Morgan Green has developed analog photography tools that use double slit laser interference.  This fellowship funds a zine of photographs and dialogue, alongside a pop-up-book laser diffraction tool. To produce the text for the zine, Morgan will transcribe conversations they share with Saskatchewan artists, scientists, and activists. The project will culminate in a zine launch and workshop, held at Neutral Ground Artist-Run Centre.
