Nina Caviezel, *1998 in Switzerland
Nina Caviezel's work is characterized by her background in fine arts, art history and art education. Her practice revolves around processes of translation – from the analog to the digital, from data to images, from the invisible to the visible. She is particularly interested in visual aesthetics between art and science and is currently researching visualizations of astronomical phenomena.
