Jennifer Merlyn Scherler's work focuses on the analysis of internet cultures in connection with questions of gender and collective identities, self-representation, and the effects of culturally dominant structures promoted by social media networks. The artist describes herself as a fan and draws inspiration from various fan (fiction) communities, with a particular interest in user-generated (cinematic) languages created to share knowledge and affection for a particular subject.

Among others: Pax Award Emerging Media Artist; Kiefer-Hablitzel Prize; Work grant from Kunstkredit Basel; Aeschlimann-Corti Scholarship. Scherler's works are exhibited nationally and internationally.
