** I am always happy to meet like-minded scholars for a coffee in Berlin, or a virtual one over Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a media scholar based in Berlin with a focus on the history, phenomenology, and epistemology of algorithmic images. Currently a lecturer at Kunstuniversit\u00e4t Linz, I investigate the shifting role of the frame in the regimes of live-action film, animation, and generative film AI. By tracing labour structures, interfaces, infrastructures, and the operative media of frame construction, I show how the frame assumes different epistemic operations across three regimes of ‘film synthesis,’ transforming the nature of filmic movement alongside its associated milieu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first worked on movement and algorithmic images in my dissertation project, where I develop “Plaything Phenomenology,” a theory centering on play as the lively transaction between movement and playthings, in a physical or virtual domain. By drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s body intentionality, I show how videogames exist in the development of movement figures, making them comparable to dance or skateboarding, and unfolding alongside an algorithmic, virtual environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will also find me around IMAGINARY gGmbH<\/a>, my collaborator for realizing interesting science communication projects on AI literacy. Many of our projects emerge as continuations of the I AM AI exhibition<\/a>, endorsed by the Stifterverband in the Wirkung Hoch 100 initiative<\/a>. Lastly, I am also regularly organizing stuff for the Network for Good Labor in Academia (NGAWiss)<\/a> to keep the debate around the precarity of academic employment in Germany alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
