New instance, new introduction: I’m a cultural and #media theorist and curator, based in Vienna and currently holding a professorship for Knowledge Cultures in the #Digital Age at the Institute for #Design Research at HBK Braunschweig. I also currently teach at the media and theatre departments of Uni Vienna and Uni Basel. I often also work with #art schools and #museums. Studied Cultural Studies and Computer Science at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where I also worked as Friedrich #Kittler’s assistant until his death. Now also co-editor of his collected works, focussing on #sourcecode. Later held a position at the chair for #MediaTheory with Wolfgang Ernst and was involved in #GermanMediaTheory and the #BerlinSchool. Then worked at #CDC #Leuphana. My teaching and research is about critical technologies and their study, the relationship of art, design and technology (curated Vienna Biennial 2019 on AI and art https://uncannyvalues.org/). But my MA and PhD were about the #transmission of knowledge between #China and the West, focussing on writing and language techniques and technologies and the influence China had on the development of ideas of computability with symbolic means in the West.
