Since 2013, I have been working on various research, design and publication projects at the Critical Media Lab, part of the Institute Experimental Design and Media Cultures, Basel Academy of Art and Design FHNW, as well as developing institutional communication and collaboration tools and formats at the lab.
Currently, I'm also developing digital interfaces for archival research within the SNSF-funded research project Visualpedia at University Lucerne, Department of Cultural and Science Studies.
