Maren Dagny Juell (b. 1976 Oslo) lives in Ås and works in Oslo with moving image, installation and VR/AR.

She graduated with a Master of Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art, London (2004).

In 2024 she won the Lumen Prize, Nordic Award sponsored by Kunstsilo. Lumen Prize is known for “showcasing artists who are pioneering new visual languages at the intersection of art and technology”.

Maren uses a visual language that references recognisable narratives from online information culture, games, and literature. With humour, vulnerability, and doubt, she examines the impact of technology on individual autonomy. Through dialogues between human actors, objects, and ideas, she explores visual and technological techniques that tell us what we should become and who we are.

Maren’s most recent solo exhibitions have been at Trondheim Centre for Electronic Arts (2023), Tenthaus (2021), Atelier Nord Oslo (2019), Trafo Kunsthall (2018), Podium Oslo (2017) and Trøndelag Centre for Contemporary Art (2018). Work has been included in group exhibitions at, among others, the Astrup Fearnley Museum (2008), Stavanger Art Museum (2015) and Bergen Centre for Electronic Art (2021). Moving image works have been shown internationally, such as at Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, AMIFF, ZK/U Berlin and The Australian Video Biennial in Melbourne. She has participated in and created new works for various biennials including Riga Photography Biennale (2020), Meta.Morf Trondheim International Biennale for Art and Technology (2022) and Art Encounters Biennale, Romania (2023).
