Emily W. Bernstein is an interdisciplinary artist based in The Hague. Her work explores how memory, archives, and technological systems shape lived experience and belief. Working across installation, moving image, objects, and text, she examines how these systems reconstruct or unsettle seemingly stable narratives, foregrounding moments of rupture and instability. Her practice is research-driven and engages with the ethical and epistemological implications of mediated experience. She is currently investigating voice as a medium and its role in exposing how subjectivity and perception are shaped from within these systems.
The residency takes place as part of the V2_ Summer Sessions – an international residency programme for emerging artists and designers working at the intersection of art and technology. Each residency lasts around eight weeks (July to September) and supports participants in developing a project from concept to a presentable work.
The programme is organised in collaboration with partners from across Europe: V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media (NL), Sardegna Teatro (IT), Metamedia (HR), Akademie für Theater und Digitalität (DE), PiNA (SI), Schmiede Hallein (AT) and Marginal (RO).
