Anja Wegner is a doctoral researcher and a marine science educator at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, working on a project on the interface between art and science. With a background in biology and life sciences, she is interested in the social behavior of marine fish. In her dissertation, “The Interplay between Physical Space and the Social Behavior of Coral Reef Fish,” she works with artists to investigate the idea of Fish Architecture from the perspective of biology, art, and environmental philosophy. Through those collaborations with artists and designers, she combines insights from quantitative biology with concepts related to interspecies coexistence and oceanic field practices.
