How do mediated systems shape what becomes meaningful, perceptible, and actionable?

My practice investigates mediation as the condition through which meaning, perception, and collective understanding emerge across artistic, pedagogical, and communicative contexts.

MEDIATION

freq:res

How does meaning emerge from incomplete information?

Mediation through uncertainty.

Investigates:

  • ambiguity

  • noise

  • signal degradation

  • improvisation

  • pattern formation

  • interpretation

RESEARCH TRAJECTORIES

opt:exp

How does perception emerge through mediation and translation?

Mediation through transformation.

Investigates:

  • sensory translation

  • physics into experience

  • data into perception

  • imperceptible phenomena

  • cross-modal systems

  • experimental perception

DAS

How do systems of communication shape what becomes visible, intelligible, and actionable within a society?

Mediation through communication.

Investigates:

  • interfaces

  • graphic systems

  • branding structures

  • social media logics

  • interaction design

  • public communication systems

  • pedagogical systems

Contexts of Practice

My research is conducted through artistic, pedagogical, and collaborative environments.

FUNKEN Academy × TU Chemnitz

Research center MAIN · ArtScience · Research Mentoring

Within the FUNKEN Academy and the MAIN Research Center at TU Chemnitz, I mentor interdisciplinary student groups from art and music universities. The focus lies on experimental research at the intersection of physics, sound, material, and media systems.

The program operates as an art–science collaboration environment in which scientific infrastructures and artistic methods are brought into interaction. Participants develop experimental works that translate research contexts into audiovisual, spatial, and performative forms.

My role focuses on supporting process-based research development, where sound, visual, material, and computational approaches are explored as relational systems through which meaning emerges in experimental settings. The program concludes with a public group exhibition presenting the developed works.

Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology

Audiovisual Systems · Improvisation · MA Music Production

At Catalyst Institute, I led workshops in audiovisual improvisation and system-based performance for MA students in Music Production. The focus was on audiovisual interaction, immersion, and live generative systems (2022–2023).

School of Sound Berlin

Audiovisual Performance · Modular Synthesis

At School of Sound Berlin, I taught audiovisual performance techniques within the Modular Synthesis for Live Performance and Composition program. The course combined theoretical foundations of audiovisual perception with hands-on improvisation and live performance practice.
