I am a PhD student and research associate at the Chair for Digital Cultures and Arts between Zurich University of the Arts and University of Zurich. I hold an interdisciplinary MA in Design and Computation between TU Berlin and University of the Arts Berlin. Before, I studied media studies and visual culture at University of Potsdam and Goldsmiths, UoL.
My research focuses on synthetic data and virtual worlds, the post-representational epistemologies shaping digital cultures and the role of uncertainty and contingency in contemporary forms of computation.
