Martyna Marciniak is a Polish, Berlin-based artist and researcher working at the intersection of sculpture, video, and animation. Her practice is informed by a critique of political structures, systemic violence, and their visual strategies. Bridging media theory and legal imaginaries to trace how power inscribes itself through image regimes and visual infrastructures, her work engages in a form of pataforensics—poking at the tropes of scientific and forensic aesthetics, revealing their uncertainties, contradictions and lapses. In 2022, her co-founded research group, Border Emergency Collective, documented the experiences of migrants at the Polish-Belarusian border. Martyna’s work has been shown internationally by Onassis Stegi, Copenhagen Contemporary, Warsaw Biennale, and LABoral Centro de Arte, among others. In 2025, she was the Collide Resident at Arts at Cern and received the Award of Distinction Prix Ars Electronica in the Artificial Life and Intelligence category.
