“MITWELTEN. Media Ecological Infrastructures for Biodiversity.”, Design research project, Basel 2020-24.
Investigation and promotion of biodiversity in settlement and recreation areas, based on interdisciplinary design research and media ecology studies. The central premise is the abolition of the dichotomy of nature and culture and the transgression of the anthropocentric perspective. The technologically extended 'response-able environment' aims to give a voice to plants and animals, to expand ecological knowledge and to design new forms of interspecies coexistence.

“Technology - Human - Design: Paradigms of Ubiquitous Computing”, artistic research project, Basel 2019-22.
UbiComp technologies have an impact on our everyday lives through strategies of intelligent, networked omnipresence, invisibility and seamless immediacy. Such paradigms are derived from theoretical groundwork, artistically staged and evaluated in an interactive research setting, using sensor data and qualitative ethnographic survey methods. The project contributes to a better understanding and critical assessment of ubiComp and its influence on our living environment, agency and privacy.

“Designed immediacy. Atmospheric experience in an affective-responsive environment”, artistic research project, Basel 2015-17.
Exploration of the atmospheric potential and the affective connection between humans and their instrumented, responsive environments and development of corresponding artistic design strategies, user-evaluating ubicomp environments from a critical perspective, beyond pure application and usefulness. Participants experience affection and go through pattern recognition and appropriation processes.

“Ubiquitous Computing for knowledge transfer, exhibition design and museum operations”, applied design research project, Basel 2015-17.
The project explores how exhibits and exhibition spaces can be augmented by interactive media to inform and emotionally involve visitors without the need of supplemental interface devices with additional information layers. From the perspectives of scenography, museology and engineering the potential of ubiComp for exhibition design, knowledge transfer and museum operations is considered and elaborated into a respective design toolkit.

“affective environments”, interactive Art installation, Basel 2014/5.
Exhibition visitors get intimately involved with three installations by connecting their breathing, heart-rate and skin conductance. The measured psychophysiological data alter parametric values of a VR-world, a video narrative and a group of robotic creatures which creates new affective stimuli, establishing a human-in-the-loop feedback system.
Subsidized by cultural funds.

living-room2, design research project, Basel 2005-2007.
The project is based on the precedent project living-room1 (see blow). The new installation works on an improved tracking and authoring system which allows the implementation and study of more complex interactive scenarios and a more specific exploration of design and content related issues. Academy of Art and Design IDK HGK FHNW. Subsidized by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).

TelcomGallery, interactive art installation, Basel 2005.
TelcomGallery is an ironic proposal for selling art with commercial telecommunication strategies. Publically staged video scenes can be activated by mobile phone dialing a chargeable number. The mobile phone is used as a remote control and headset for the sound. The exhibited scenes are static and remind of famous paintings. Audio signals sent by the spectator have effect on theexhibited scenes. Return calls and spam messages prompt the visitor later. Subsidized by local cultural funds.

lifeClipper, immersive outdoor augmented reality art project, Basel 2004.
Visitors are invited to walk with a wearable computer system in a virtually extended historic quarter of Basel. Their position and viewing direction is measured and captured image and sound are augmented according to defined presets. Through artistic interventions the experience of reality becomes seriously questioned. Subsidized by local cultural funds.

Las meninas, artistic CD-ROM, Basel 1999.
Artistic interactive interpretation of the painting of Velazquez. Audio-visual art studies, diploma project HGK.

Gender Media Art (GMA), artistic CD-ROM, Amsterdam 1998.
The team developed an artistic interactive presentation of gender theories and exhibitions of AXIS, Bureau voor de Kunsten, Amsterdam.
