RESEARCH & TEACHING

How can complex technological and social systems become something we can examine and test together?

I develop seminars, workshops and game-based formats that move between theory, artistic practice and experimentation. My current teaching focuses on artificial intelligence, digital culture, storytelling, archives and future thinking.

AI, AUTOMATION AND THE PLATFORM ECONOMY
HWR Berlin, 2026
Lecturer and course designer

A research seminar examining how artificial intelligence, automation and platform economies reshape work, value creation and everyday life. Over the course of the semester, students develop their own research projects, moving from an initial case study and research question to methods, literature review, writing and the transparent use of AI.

STORYTELLING IN BUSINESS
HWR Berlin, 2024–2026
Lecturer and course designer

A semester-long seminar exploring how narratives operate within organisations, business communication and future-making. Moving between narratology, organisational storytelling, sustainability reporting and speculative scenarios, students develop a critical Storytelling Journal that connects theoretical ideas to their own professional and social contexts.

MIDAP
Folkwang University of the Arts × Berlin University of the Arts, 2026–ongoing
Research associate, curation and production

Within MIDAP, I develop artistic research and teaching formats that explore how collaboration, performance and artistic learning can take place across distance. I curate and produce public open calls that connect students and teachers from Folkwang and UdK Berlin through shared artistic experiments.

ARCHIVAL FEVER
Design & Computation, TU Berlin / UdK Berlin, 6–8 May 2026
Workshop lead

A three-day workshop examining archives as political, technological and aesthetic structures. Readings by Jacques Derrida, Bernard Stiegler, Lev Manovich, Stuart Hall, Michael Rothberg and others became starting points for discussing digital memory, data colonialism, generative AI and artistic strategies of reconstruction, appropriation and collective stewardship.

CITY FUTURES: HOW DO WE WANT TO LIVE?
HWR Berlin / Transferale at silent green, 2024
Concept and development with Avo Schönbohm and Max Seeger

An immersive serious game inviting participants to imagine possible futures for urban life. Moving through four science-fiction scenarios, Solarpunk, Biopunk, Politicopunk and Cyberpunk, players combine storytelling, future thinking and collective debate to develop responses to social, ecological and technological challenges.

SOLARPUNK × BICYCLE
UdK Berlin / Goethe-Institut Bangalore / HWR Berlin, 2021–2024
Co-developer and facilitator with Johann D. Thomas

A participatory future-literacy workshop using Solarpunk and the bicycle as starting points for imagining alternative urban futures. Through collective reading, system mapping, card-based worldbuilding and hands-on prototyping, participants translate abstract ideas about the future into shared and tangible scenarios.

SƏˈLESCHƏL: EXPERIENCING EDGES OF THE DIGITAL SELF
InKüLe, UdK Berlin, 2024
Workshop lead

A hands-on workshop connecting questions of digital self-representation with avatar design and real-time technologies. Participants create and animate digital self-avatars in Unreal Engine while reflecting on identity, performance and the relationship between physical and virtual bodies.

MOTION CAPTURE FOR UNREAL ENGINE
DOCK11 / DOCKdigital, Berlin, 25–26 October 2023
Workshop lead

A two-day practical workshop for dancers and performance makers entering motion capture and real-time 3D environments. Participants record movement with Rokoko suits, transfer it to avatars in Unreal Engine, and develop short virtual scenes using worldbuilding, lighting and camera tools.

REPLAY: REFLECTIVE EXPERIENCES IN PLAY
ControllingPlus Institute, HWR Berlin / IFAF Berlin, 2024
Contributing researcher

A transfer research project exploring how serious games and Future Labs can support collaborative learning and leadership development within organisations. Playful methods were tested in real working environments as tools for systems thinking, strategic foresight and collective reflection.
